The GP 1, 2 envelope glycoproteins (GP) of filoviruses (marburg-and ebolaviruses) mediate
cell-surface attachment, membrane fusion, and entry into permissive cells. Here we show …

Interactions of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with immature dendritic cells
(DC) are believed to be multifactorial and involve binding to the CD4 antigen, DC-specific …

Sexual transmission of HIV-1 requires virus adsorption to a target cell, typically a CD4+ T
lymphocyte residing in the lamina propria, beneath the epithelium. To escape the mucosal …

The tropism of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 for chemokine receptors plays an
important role in the transmission of AIDS. Although CXCR4-tropic virus is more cytopathic …

Multiple host molecules are known to be involved in the cellular entry of filoviruses, including
Ebola virus (EBOV); T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (TIM-1) and Niemann-Pick …

Animal Lectins: Form, Function and Clinical Applications presents up-to-date knowledge of
animal lectins. Detailed descriptions on biological activities, tissue and/or subcellular …

The advancement of viral glycomics has paralleled that of the mass spectrometry glycomics
toolbox. In some regard the glycoproteins studied have provided the impetus for this …

The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein complex (Env) is the focus of vaccine development aimed

Ebola virus, the virus responsible for Ebola virus disease, has spawned several epidemics
during the past 38 years. In 2014, an Ebola epidemic spread from Africa to other continents …

Filoviruses are hemorrhagic fever-causing agents that produce enveloped virions with a
filamentous morphology. The viral surface glycoprotein, GP, orchestrates the surprisingly …
