The Host Cell Receptors for Measles Virus and Their Interaction with the Viral Hemagglutinin (H) Protein

The hemagglutinin (H) protein of measles virus (MeV) interacts with a cellular receptor which constitutes the initial stage of infection. Binding of H to this host cell receptor subsequently triggers the F protein to activate fusion between virus and host plasma membranes. The search for MeV recepto...
