“…Thus in the currently accepted model of sequential interactions between Ad and its cell receptor(s), the primary event would consist of virus-cell recognition and attachment, involving the fiber knob and an as yet unidentified cell surface receptor. Subsequently the conserved RGD motifs in the penton base and host cell components (such as XV03 and av135 integrins) within the plasma membrane would interact and permit (or facilitate) endocytosis of the virion (Lonberg-Holm and Philipson, 1969;Hennache and Boulanger, 1977;Svensson et al, 1981;Neuman et al, 1988;Defer et al, 1990;Varga et al, 1991;Bai et al, 1993;Belin and Boulanger, 1993;White 1993; Wickham et al, 1993;Cuzange et al, 1994;Mathias et al, 1994;Nemerow et al, 1994;Sprengel et al, 1994). However, significant differences in RGD ligand usage have been observed between Ad2 and Adi2 (Bai et al, 1994) and additional capsid proteins, which remain to be identified, could also participate in Ad cell entry (Greber et al, 1993;Wickham et al, 1994).…”
