Abstract excerpt
Viruses generally have one of two mechanisms for entry and uncoating. They can enter the cell either by endocytosis or by direct fusion at the plasma membrane. We have established a novel mink lung (Mv-1) cell line that expresses a dominant-interfering form of dynamin-1 (K44A) under the control of a tetracycline-responsive element and studied the early events in influenza infection using these cells. We found...
