Human Metapneumovirus Binding and Infection is Mediated 1 by Interactions between the HMPV Fusion Protein and 2 Heparan Sulfate 3
23 Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a major worldwide respiratory pathogen that causes acute upper 24 and lower respiratory tract disease. The mechanism by which this virus recognizes and gains access to its 25 target cell is still largely unknown. In this study, we addressed the initial steps in virus binding and 26 infection and found that the first binding partner for HMPV is heparan sulfate ...
متن کاملAnimal models for human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infections.
Since its detection in 2001 the human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family, was observed to be a serious pathogen in human respiratory infections during childhood. Meanwhile, several animal models have been established to study the virus-host interactions and pathogenic effects. Mainly, small laboratory animals like mice and cotton rats have been used, although the usa...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in Cambodia
Background First identified in 2001, human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a novel pathogen and causative agent of acute respiratory tract infection. Re-infection with hMPV is common, and currently there is no available vaccine against this virus. Two genetic subgroups (A and B) have been identified, both of which can be divided further into at least two distinct sub-lineages. Here we report the resu...
متن کاملSuppression of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection by the innate sensing gene CEACAM1
The innate sensing system is equipped with PRRs specialized in recognizing molecular structures (PAMPs) of various pathogens. This leads to the induction of anti-viral genes and inhibition of virus growth. Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a major respiratory virus that causes an upper and lower respiratory tract infection in children. In this study we show that upon HMPV infection, the innate se...
متن کاملhMPV Lineage Nomenclature and Heparin Binding
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV), first described in 2001 [1], is responsible for causing serious respiratory illness in young children, the elderly and immunocompromised patients. Four distinct lineages of hMPV have been identified with the original nomenclature for these subgroups (A1, A2, B1 and B2), reported by van den Hoogen et al. [2], utilised by many. An alternate terminology (1A, 1B, 2A an...
