Two novel cell receptors used by Dengue virus to penetrate target cells have been identified by researchers. By demonstrating that it is possible to inhibit the viral infection in vitro by blocking the bonding between the virus and these receptors, the researchers have opened the way to a new antiviral strategy. The Dengue virus circulates in four different forms (four serotypes). It is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. The infection ...Wednesday, 24 October 2012
Scientists Discover Two Paths Used by Dengue Virus to Penetrate Cells
Two novel cell receptors used by Dengue virus to penetrate target cells have been identified by researchers. By demonstrating that it is possible to inhibit the viral infection in vitro by blocking the bonding between the virus and these receptors, the researchers have opened the way to a new antiviral strategy.
