Abstract excerpt
To study the contributions of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and the fusion (F) glycoproteins in virus-induced membrane fusion, the HN and F proteins of human parainfluenza virus type-1 (hPIV-1) and Sendai virus (SV) were expressed in HeLa T4+ cells using the vaccinia virus-T7 RNA polymerase transient expression system. Expression of F protein alone did not induce cell fusion. However, coexpression of...
