Measles virus is a paramyxovirus which, like other members of the family such as respiratory
syncytial virus, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The cell surface …

ABSTRACT A chimeric fusion protein encompassing the CD46 ectodomain linked to the C-
terminal part of the C4b binding protein (C4bp) α chain (sCD46-C4bpα) was produced in …

Measles virus (MV) enters cells by attachment of the viral hemagglutinin to the major cell
surface receptor CD46 (membrane cofactor protein). CD46 is a transmembrane glycoprotein …

Human CD46, a member of the family of regulators of complement activation, has been
shown recently to act as a measles virus (MV) receptor, interacting with the virus envelope …

The entry of measles virus (MV) into human cells is mediated by the initial attachment of the
viral hemagglutinin (HA) to the complement regulatory protein CD46. Two subdomains, one …

The human cell surface protein CD46 is the main measles virus (MV) receptor. We analyzed
the CD46 isoforms expressed in the brain of three patients who died with persistent MV …

The human complement regulatory protein membrane cofactor protein (CD46) is the cellular
receptor for measles virus (MV), whereas decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55), a …

The measles virus (MV) hemagglutinin binds to the complement control protein (CCP) CD46
primarily through the two external modules, CCP-I and-II. To define the residues involved in …

We compared the amino acid sequences of groups of receptor (CD46) downregulating and
nondownregulating measles virus (MV) hemagglutinins (Hs) and identified seven group …

To investigate the sequence requirements for measles virus (MV)-induced receptor down
regulation, we transfected the human CD46 gene into simian cells persistently infected by …
