Antibodies to CD9, a tetraspan transmembrane protein, inhibit canine distemper virus-induced cell-cell fusion but not virus-cell fusion.
Canine distemper virus (CDV) causes a life-threatening disease in several carnivores including domestic dogs. Recently, we identified a molecule, CD9, a member of the tetraspan transmembrane protein family, which facilitates, and antibodies to which inhibit, the infection of tissue culture cells with CDV (strain Onderstepoort). Here we describe that an anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody (MAb K41) did...
متن کاملCell fusion induced by the murine leukemia virus envelope glycoprotein.
To determine whether ecotropic murine leukemia virus (MuLV) envelope glycoproteins are sufficient to cause cell-to-cell fusion when expressed in the absence of virus production, we used an ecotropic MuLV, AKV, to construct env expression vectors that lack the gag and pol genes. The rat cell line XC, which undergoes cell-to-cell fusion upon infection with ecotropic MuLV, was transfected with wil...
متن کاملFactors affecting cell fusion induced by Sendai virus.
Cell fusion mediated by exogenous Sendai virus appears to occur in four temperature-dependent stages. The first two, which include viral adsorption, are pH dependent and can be inhibited by viral antibody. Viral envelope constituents remain detectable on the cell surface during the third stage and disappear only when cell-to-cell fusion supervenes. The relationship of these interactions to poss...
متن کاملCell fusion induced senescence
senescence has long been established as a stable and irreversible growth arrest, which plays an important role in tumor suppression and tissue repair. It can be induced by various stimuli, including telomere shortening, oncogene activation and oxidative stress. We recently demonstrated that cell-cell fusion is a previously unidentified trigger for inducing cellular senescence [1]. This work was...
متن کاملInfluenza virus hemagglutinin-induced cell-planar bilayer fusion: quantitative dissection of fusion pore kinetics into stages
Cells expressing the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) fuse to planar bilayer membranes under acidic conditions. After an electrically quiescent perfusion stage (Q), a fusion pore forms that enlarges in three subsequent stages. A repetitively flickering pore stage (R) develops into a securely open stage (S) that exhibits conductances ranging from a few to tens of nS. The pore then expands to a...
