Propagation of an attenuated virus by design: engineering a novel receptor for a noninfectious foot-and-mouth disease virus.
17 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
To gain entry into cells, viruses utilize a variety of different cell-surface molecules. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) binds to cell-surface integrin molecules via an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence in capsid protein VP1. Binding to this particular cell-surface molecule influences FMDV tropism, and virus/receptor interactions appear to be responsible, in part, for selection of antigenic...
