Abstract excerpt
Measles virus (MV) is a human pathogen using two distinct cell surface receptors for entry into host cells. We present here a comparative analysis for binding of the MV receptors CD46 and SLAM to the measles virus hemagglutinin protein (MVH, Edmonston strain). Soluble monomeric and dimeric MVH variants were prepared in mammalian cells and their conformation assessed using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. The two...
