Dynamics of Virus-Receptor Interactions in Virus Binding, Signaling, and Endocytosis

Abstract excerpt

During viral infection the first challenge that viruses have to overcome is gaining access to the intracellular compartment. The infection process starts when the virus contacts the surface of the host cell. A complex series of events ensues, including diffusion at the host cell membrane surface, binding to receptors, signaling, internalization, and delivery of the genetic information. The focus of this review is...
