Basolateral Localization of Fiber Receptors Limits Adenovirus Infection from the Apical Surface of Airway Epithelia
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Recent identification of two receptors for the adenovirus fiber protein, coxsackie B and adenovirus type 2 and 5 receptor (CAR), and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I alpha-2 domain allows the molecular basis of adenoviral infection to be investigated. Earlier work has shown that human airway epithelia are resistant to infection by adenovirus. Therefore, we examined the expression and...
