      Department: Microbiology and Immunology
      Virus cell entry is a multi-step process that often requires independent receptors for attachment and internalization. Reovirus infection is initiated by attachment to cell-surface carbohydrate and junctional adhesion ...
    • Antar, Annukka Aida Rose (2008-12-30)
      Department: Microbiology and Immunology
      Diverse families of viruses bind immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) proteins located in tight junctions and adherens junctions of epithelium and endothelium. However, little is known about the roles of these receptors in ...
    • Guglielmi, Kristen Marie (2008-04-04)
      Department: Microbiology and Immunology
      To efficiently initiate infection in target cells, viruses must become tethered to the plasma membrane by engaging cellular receptors. As the first step in the viral replication cycle, attachment is a key determinant of ...
