Dysregulated formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is observed in acute viral
infections. Moreover, NETs contribute to the pathogenesis of acute viral infections, including …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly emerged coronavirus
(CoV) designated SARS-CoV. The virus utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as …

Ebola virus infection is initiated by interactions between the viral glycoprotein GP1 and its
cognate receptor (s), but little is known about the structure and function of GP1 in viral entry …

Recognition of viral glycans by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in innate immunity
contributes to antiviral immune responses. C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are PRRs capable …

Ebola virus (EBOV) has been reported to enter cultured cell lines via a dynamin-2-
independent macropinocytic pathway or clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The route (s) of …

Innate recognition of virus proteins is an important component of the immune response to
viral pathogens. A component of this immune recognition is the family of lectins; pattern …

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein gp120 is a vaccine
immunogen that can signal via several cell surface receptors. To investigate whether …

It is widely recognized that sialic acid (SA) can mediate attachment of influenza virus to the
cell surface, and yet the specific receptors that mediate virus entry are not known. For many …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by infection of a previously
undescribed coronavirus (CoV). L-SIGN, encoded by CLEC4M (also known as CD209L), is …

Lloviu virus (LLOV), a novel filovirus detected in bats, is phylogenetically distinct from
viruses in the genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus in the family Filoviridae. While filoviruses …
