Abstract excerpt
Human CD46, a member of the family of regulators of complement activation, has been shown recently to act as a measles virus (MV) receptor, interacting with the virus envelope glycoprotein haemagglutinin (HA). Owing to alternative RNA splicing, several CD46 isoforms are co-expressed in all tissues except erythrocytes. The optional exons encode extracellular serine-, threonine- and proline-rich regions of CD46...
