“…The cellular receptors have now been isolated for both poliovirus (Mendelsohn et al, 1986(Mendelsohn et al, , 1989Shepley et al, 1988) and the major group rhinoviruses (Greve et al, 1989;Staunton et al, 1989); however, the attachment of HAV has not been characterized extensively (Seganti et al, 1987(Seganti et al, , 1989. Viruses can interact with cells in a variety of ways (Dimmock, 1982;Hsu et al, 1988;Marsh & Helenius, 1989;Reagan et al, 1984); in addition to attaching to specific receptors, it has been shown that viruses can bind by indirect mechanisms, for example the attachment of dengue virus to cells bearing Fc receptors is enhanced by antibody raised to the virus (Halstead & O'Rourke, 1977), whereas cytomegalovirus exploits flz-microglobulin in its interaction with cells (Grundy et al, 1987). t Present address: Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, U.K.…”
