CD13 (human aminopeptidase N) mediates human cytomegalovirus infection.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects cells by a series of processes including attachment, penetration via fusion of the envelope with the plasma membrane, and transport of the viral DNA to the nucleus. The details of the early events of HCMV infection are poorly understood. We have recently reported that CD13, human aminopeptidase N, a metalloprotease, is present on blood cells susceptible in v...

Involvement of aminopeptidase N (CD13) in infection of human neural cells by human coronavirus 229E.
Attachment to a cell surface receptor can be a major determinant of virus tropism. Previous studies have shown that human respiratory coronavirus HCV-229E uses human aminopeptidase N (hAPN [CD13]) as its cellular receptor for infection of lung fibroblasts. Although human coronaviruses are recognized respiratory pathogens, occasional reports have suggested their possible neurotropism. We have pr...
متن کاملNeutralization of human cytomegalovirus by human CD13-specific antibodies.
The mechanisms of inhibition of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection by human CD13 (aminopeptidase N)-specific antibodies were studied. These antibodies protect CD13-negative and -positive cells from CMV infection only if incubated with the virus inoculum, suggesting they bind to CMV virions. The association of a CD13-like molecule with virions was further supported by the transfer of CD13 immunorea...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Active Infection in Persons Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at molecular studying of CMV infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 ven...
