Canine Adenovirus Type 2 Attachment and Internalization: Coxsackievirus-Adenovirus Receptor, Alternative Receptors, and an RGD-Independent Pathway
15 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The best-characterized receptors for adenoviruses (Ads) are the coxsackievirus-Ad receptor (CAR) and integrins alpha(v)beta(5) and alpha(v)beta(3), which facilitate entry. The alpha(v) integrins recognize an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif found in some extracellular matrix proteins and in the penton base in most human Ads. Using a canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) vector, we found that CHO cells that express CAR but not...
