Concanavalin a and Influenza Virus Infected Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Treatment of host cells with Concanavalin A prevents the assembly or release of fowl plague virus from chick fibroblasts and inhibits fusion of BHK cells by the paramyxovirus SV5. Metabolic events of the host cells are not greatly impaired during the early phase of infection. There is evi dence that the carbohydrate moiety of the Con A receptor of fowl plague virus is associated with the viral neuraminidase.
