Abstract excerpt
In order for the fusion protein (F) of the human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPF3) to promote membrane fusion and viral entry, the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein must interact with its receptor. Sialoglycoconjugates are known to be the receptors for the HPF3 HN, however specific attachment factors or receptors for HPF3 have not been identified. In this report we describe the analysis of variants...
