Integrin alpha v beta 5 selectively promotes adenovirus mediated cell membrane permeabilization.
1 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
Human adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) enters host cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, an event mediated by the virus penton base binding to cell surface integrins alpha v beta 3 and alpha v beta 5. While both alpha v integrins promote virus internalization, alpha v beta 5 is involved in the subsequent event of membrane permeabilization. Cells transfected with the beta 5 or beta 3 subunit, expressing either alpha v...
