Inhibiting Human Parainfluenza Virus Infection by Preactivating the Cell Entry Mechanism
Paramyxoviruses, including human parainfluenza virus type 3, are internalized into host cells by fusion between viral and target cell membranes. The receptor binding protein, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), and the fusion protein (F) facilitate viral fusion and entry into cells through a process i...
