Entry of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and Other Alphaherpesviruses via the Paired Immunoglobulin-Like Type 2 Receptor α
26 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) enters cells either via fusion of the virion envelope and host cell plasma membrane or via endocytosis, depending on the cell type. In the study reported here, we investigated a viral entry pathway dependent on the paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor alpha (PILRalpha), a recently identified entry coreceptor for HSV-1 that associates with viral envelope glycoprotein B (gB)....
