Cholesterol depletion by methyl-b-cyclodextrin, which Biology NCI-FCRDC presumably disrupts rafts, inhibits HIV-1 infection and syncytia formation (J. Hildreth, Johns Hopkins Univ., National Institutes of Health Building 469, Room 104 Baltimore, R. Blumenthal). A limit...
متن کاملPreformed portals facilitate dendritic cell entry into afferent lymphatic vessels
Although both processes occur at similar rates, leukocyte extravasation from the blood circulation is well investigated, whereas intravasation into lymphatic vessels has hardly been studied. In contrast to a common assumption-that intra- and extravasation follow similar molecular principles-we previously showed that lymphatic entry of dendritic cells (DCs) does not require integrin-mediated adh...
متن کاملImpenetrable barriers or entry portals? The role of cell–cell adhesion during infection
Cell-cell adhesion plays a fundamental role in cell polarity and organogenesis. It also contributes to the formation and establishment of physical barriers against microbial infections. However, a large number of pathogens, from viruses to bacteria and parasites, have developed countless strategies to specifically target cell adhesion molecules in order to adhere to and invade epithelial cells,...
متن کاملThe cell biology of receptor-mediated virus entry
The cell imposes multiple barriers to virus entry. However, viruses exploit fundamental cellular processes to gain entry to cells and deliver their genetic cargo. Virus entry pathways are largely defined by the interactions between virus particles and their receptors at the cell surface. These interactions determine the mechanisms of virus attachment, uptake, intracellular trafficking, and, ult...
متن کاملCell-surface proteoglycans as molecular portals for cationic peptide and polymer entry into cells.
Polycationic macromolecules and cationic peptides acting as PTDs (protein transduction domains) and CPPs (cell-penetrating peptides) represent important classes of agents used for the import and delivery of a wide range of molecular cargoes into cells. Their entry into cells is typically initiated through interaction with cell-surface HS (heparan sulfate) molecules via electrostatic interaction...
