Abstract
Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a nonenveloped virus with a 5-kb single-stranded DNA genome. Lysosomotropic agents and low temperature are known to prevent CPV infection, indicating that the virus enters its host cells by endocytosis and requires an acidic intracellular compartment for penetration into the cytoplasm. After escape from the endocytotic vesicles, CPV is transported to the nucleus for replication. In the present study the intracellular entry pathway of the canine parvovirus in NLFK (Nordisk Laboratory feline kidney) cells was studied. After clustering in clathrin-coated pits and being taken up in coated vesicles, CPV colocalized with coendocytosed transferrin in endosomes resembling recycling endosomes. Later, CPV was found to enter, via late endosomes, a perinuclear vesicular compartment, where it colocalized with lysosomal markers. There was no indication of CPV entry into the trans-Golgi or the endoplasmic reticulum. Similar results were obtained both with full and with empty capsids. The data thus suggest that CPV or its DNA was released from the lysosomal compartment to the cytoplasm to be then transported to the nucleus. Electron microscopy analysis revealed endosomal vesicles containing CPV to be associated with microtubules. In the presence of nocodazole, a microtubule-disrupting drug, CPV entry was blocked and the virus was found in peripheral vesicles. Thus, some step(s) of the entry process were dependent on microtubules. Microinjection of antibodies to dynein caused CPV to remain in pericellular vesicles. This suggests an important role for the motor protein dynein in transporting vesicles containing CPV along the microtubule network.

Abstract
Fusion of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to the plasma membrane of target cells is mediated by interaction of its envelope glycoprotein, gp120, with CD4 and appropriate chemokine receptors. gp120 additionally binds to DC-SIGN, a C-type lectin expressed on immature dendritic cells. This interaction does not result in viral fusion, but instead contributes to enhanced infection in trans of target cells that express CD4 and chemokine receptors. Here we show that DC-SIGN mediates rapid internalization of intact HIV into a low pH nonlysosomal compartment. Internalized virus retains competence to infect target cells. Removal of the DC-SIGN cytoplasmic tail reduced viral uptake and abrogated the trans-enhancement of T cell infection. We propose that HIV binds to DC-SIGN to gain access to an intracellular compartment that contributes to augmentation or retention of viral infectivity.

Abstract
The early transcription unit 3 (E3) of human adenoviruses (Ads) encodes proteins with various immunomodulatory functions. Ads from different subgenera differ considerably in their E3 coding capacity, suggesting that distinct sets of immunomodulatory E3 proteins may influence the disease pattern associated with different Ad subgenera. Interestingly, the E3 region of Ads classified in subgenus D, which are often isolated from AIDS patients and have the propensity to cause eye infections, contains a unique gene, named E3/49K, that may encode a protein with a calculated molecular weight of 48,984 that might be implicated in diseases caused by this subgenus. The 49K sequence predicts a highly glycosylated type I transmembrane protein with a short cytoplasmic tail containing two motifs, YXXPhi and LL, potentially involved in targeting the protein to endosomal or lysosomal compartments. Remarkably, the 49K protein is predicted to contain an unusual immunoglobulin-like fold. Here we have characterized the E3/49K protein of Ad type 19a, an Ad of subgenus D which causes epidemic keratoconjunctivitis. E3/49K was synthesized as an 80- to 100-kDa protein, which is unusually large for an E3 protein. In contrast to another early protein, E3/19K, the expression of E3/49K started early but continued throughout the infection cycle. Analysis of the 49K glycosylation revealed that the majority of 49K molecules contained only 12 of the predicted 14 N-glycans. Furthermore, we provide evidence that 49K is O-glycosylated. At steady state, E3/49K was localized in the Golgi-trans-Golgi network and in early endosomes. Interestingly, the 49K protein has a rather short half-life and seems to be proteolytically cleaved. A processing pattern similar to that in the early stages of infection is seen in transfected cells, constitutively expressing 49K in the absence of other Ad proteins. Together, our data provide the first biochemical and cell biological characterization of an unique E3 protein of subgenus D Ads.

Abstract
We describe a method, based on single-molecule imaging, that allows the real-time visualization of the infection pathway of single viruses in living cells, each labeled with only one fluorescent dye molecule. The tracking of single viruses removes ensemble averaging. Diffusion trajectories with high spatial and time resolution show various modes of motion of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) during their infection pathway into living HeLa cells: (i) consecutive virus touching at the cell surface and fast endocytosis; (ii) free and anomalous diffusion of the endosome and the virus in the cytoplasm and the nucleus; and (iii) directed motion by motor proteins in the cytoplasm and in nuclear tubular structures. The real-time visualization of the infection pathway of single AAVs shows a much faster infection than was generally observed so far.

Abstract
The frequent coexpression of the EBV-encoded latent membrane proteins LMP1 and LMP2A/B in virus-associated tumors suggests that these two proteins may cooperate in the transformation process. While LMP2A is unable to directly activate the NF-kappaB and AP-1 pathways, we found that coexpression of LMP2A with LMP1 resulted in a significant enhancement of LMP1-mediated activation of these pathways. This enhancement was found to be critically dependent on the tyrosine residues present within the ITAM motif (Y74/Y85) and, to a lesser extent, the tyrosine at position 112 (Y112). Subsequent analysis revealed that LMP2A is able to stabilize and modulate the turnover of LMP1 by extending its half-life. This ability does not require a direct physical interaction between the two proteins but rather, results from an indirect effect of LMP2A on the turnover of the LMP1 protein. This study highlights an important role for LMP2A as a modulator of LMP1 activity in epithelial cells.

Abstract
The early steps of adeno-associated virus (AAV) infection involve attachment to a variety of cell surface receptors (heparan sulfate, integrins, and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1) followed by clathrin-dependent or independent internalization. Here we have studied the subsequent intracellular trafficking of AAV particles from the endosomal compartment to the nucleus. Human cell lines were transduced with a recombinant AAV (rAAV) carrying a reporter gene (luciferase or green fluorescent protein) in the presence of agents that affect trafficking. The effects of bafilomycin A(1), brefeldin A, and MG-132 were measured. These drugs act at the level of endosome acidification, early-to-late endosome transition, and proteasome activity, respectively. We observed that the transducing virions needed to be routed as far as the late endosomal compartment. This behavior was markedly different from that observed with adenovirus particles. Antiproteasome treatments with MG-132 led to a 50-fold enhancement in transduction efficiency. This effect was accompanied by a 10-fold intracellular accumulation of single-stranded DNA AAV genomes, suggesting that the mechanism of transduction enhancement was different from the one mediated by a helper adenovirus, which facilitates the conversion of the rAAV single-stranded DNA genome into its replicative form. MG-132, a drug currently in clinical use, could be of practical use for potentializing rAAV-mediated delivery of therapeutic genes.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic compartments occupied by exocytosing herpes simplex virus (HSV) are poorly defined. It is unclear which organelles contain the majority of trafficking virions and which are occupied by virions on a productive rather than defective assembly pathway. These problems are compounded by the fact that HSV-infected cells produce virus continuously over many hours. All stages in viral assembly and export therefore coexist, making it impossible to determine the sequence of events and their kinetics. To address these problems, we have established assays to monitor the presence of capsids and enveloped virions in cell extracts and prepared HSV-containing organelles from normally infected cells and from cells undergoing a single synchronized wave of viral egress. We find that, in both cases, HSV particles exit the nucleus and accumulate in organelles which cofractionate with the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. In addition to carrying enveloped infectious virions in their lumen, HSV-bearing organelles also displayed nonenveloped capsids attached to their cytoplasmic surface. Neutralization of organellar pH by chloroquine or bafilomycin A resulted in the accumulation of noninfectious enveloped particles. We conclude that the organelles of the TGN/endocytic network play a key role in the assembly and trafficking of infectious HSV.

Abstract
The intracellular trafficking of adenovirus (Ad) subgroup B (e.g., Ad7) differs from that of subgroup C (e.g., Ad5) in that Ad5 rapidly escapes from endocytic compartments following infection whereas Ad7 accumulates in organelles. To assess the hypothesis that Ad7 is targeted to the lysosomal pathway, Ad7 and Ad5 were conjugated with fluorophores and their trafficking in A549 epithelial cells was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. Within 1 h after infection, Ad7, but not Ad5, accumulated in the cytoplasm of A549 cells. The pH in the environment of Ad5 was nearly neutral (pH 7), while Ad7 occupied acidic compartments (pH 5) over the first 2 h with a gradual shift toward neutrality by 8 h. Ad7 partially colocalized with alpha(2)-macroglobulin and late endosomal and lysosomal marker proteins, including Rab7, mannose-6-phosphate receptor, and LAMP-1. The pH optimum for membrane lysis by Ad7, as well as a chimeric Ad5 capsid that expressed the Ad7 fiber (Ad5fiber7), was pH 5.5, while that for lysis by Ad5 was pH 6.0. Thus, the native trafficking pathway for Ad7 involves residence in late endosomes and lysosomes, with information encoded in the Ad7 fiber acting as a pH-dependent trigger for membrane lysis and escape to the cytosol.

Abstract
We have studied the infection pathway of Autographa californica multinuclear polyhedrosis virus (baculovirus) in mammalian cells. By titration with a baculovirus containing a green fluorescent protein cassette, we found that several, but not all, mammalian cell types can be infected efficiently. In contrast to previous suggestions, our data show that the asialoglycoprotein receptor is not required for efficient infection. We demonstrate for the first time that this baculovirus can infect nondividing mammalian cells, which implies that the baculovirus is able to transport its genome across the nuclear membrane of mammalian cells. Our data further show that the virus enters via endocytosis, followed by an acid-induced fusion event, which releases the nucleocapsid into the cytoplasm. Cytochalasin D strongly reduces the infection efficiency but not the delivery of nucleocapsids to the cytoplasm, suggesting involvement of actin filaments in cytoplasmic transport of the capsids. Electron microscopic analysis shows the cigar-shaped nucleocapsids located at nuclear pores of nondividing cells. Under these conditions, we observed the viral genome, major capsid protein, and electron-dense capsids inside the nucleus. This suggests that the nucleocapsid is transported through the nuclear pore. This mode of transport seems different from viruses with large spherical capsids, such as herpes simplex virus and adenovirus, which are disassembled before nuclear transport of the genome. The implications for the application of baculovirus or its capsid proteins in gene therapy are discussed.

Abstract
The entry mechanism of Spodoptera exigua multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV), a group II NPV, in cultured cells was examined. SeMNPV budded virus (BV) enters by endocytosis as do the BVs of the group I NPVs, Autographa californica (Ac) MNPV and Orgyia pseudotsugata (Op) MNPV. In group I NPVs, upon infection acidification of the endosome triggers fusion of the viral and endosomal membrane, which is mediated by the BV envelope glycoprotein GP64. However, the SeMNPV genome lacks a homolog of GP64 envelope fusion protein (EFP). A functional homolog of the OpMNPV GP64 EFP was identified in SeMNPV ORF8 (Se8; 76 kDa) and appeared to be the major BV envelope protein. Surprisingly, a 60-kDa cleavage product of this protein is present in the BV envelope. A furin-like proprotein convertase cleavage site (R-X-K/R-R) was identified immediately upstream of the N-terminus of the mature Se8 protein and this site was also conserved in the Lymantria dispar (Ld) MNPV homolog (Ld130) of Se8. Syncytium formation assays showed that Se8 and Ld130 alone were sufficient to mediate membrane fusion upon acidification of the medium. Furthermore, C-terminal GFP-fusion proteins of Se8 and Ld130 were primarily localized in the plasma membrane of insect cells. This is consistent with their fusogenic activity and supports the conclusion that the Se8 gene product is a functional homolog of the GP64 EFP.

Abstract
Enveloped viruses enter target cells by membrane fusion or endocytosis. In the latter case, fusion of the viral envelope is induced by the acidic pH of the endocytic vesicle [1]. As with most other retroviruses, entry of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is thought to be exclusively by pH-independent membrane fusion after interaction of its envelope with CD4 and a chemokine co-receptor on the target cell [2,3]. Expression of CD4 on the virus-producing cell impairs the release and infectivity of HIV-1(NL4-3) particles [4-6]. In sharp contrast, we found that the infectivity of another HIV isolate, HIV-1SF2, was enhanced by expression of CD4 on the producer cells, which correlated with significantly increased amounts of viral proteins in the vesicular fraction of target cells. Endocytic inhibitors decreased infectivity of HIV-1SF2 but enhanced that of HIV-1 NL4-3. Expression of CD4 in the producer cell did not remove gp41 from HIV-1SF2 virions. With these cells, the formation of syncytia could be induced by acidic medium. Thus, HIV-1SF2 can enter the cytoplasm by an endocytic route after activation of gp41 by the acidic pH of endocytic vesicles. Endocytic entry might expand the range of cells that HIV could infect and should be considered in antiviral strategies against AIDS.

Abstract
The coronavirus replicase gene (gene 1) is translated into two co-amino-terminal polyproteins that are proteolytically processed to yield more than 15 mature proteins. Several gene 1 proteins have been shown to localize at sites of viral RNA synthesis in the infected cell cytoplasm, notably on late endosomes at early times of infection. However, both immunofluorescence and electron microscopic studies have also detected gene 1 proteins at sites distinct from the putative sites of viral RNA synthesis or virus assembly. In this study, mouse hepatitis virus (MHV)-infected cells were fractionated and analyzed to determine if gene 1 proteins segregated to more than one membrane population. Following differential centrifugation of lysates of MHV-infected DBT cells, gene 1 proteins as well as the structural N and M proteins were detected almost exclusively in a high-speed small membrane pellet. Following fractionation of the small membrane pellet on an iodixanol density gradient, the gene 1 proteins p28 and helicase cofractionated with dense membranes (1.12 to 1.13 g/ml) that also contained peak concentrations of N. In contrast, p65 and p1a-22 were detected in a distinct population of less dense membranes (1.05 to 1.09 g/ml). Viral RNA was detected in membrane fractions containing helicase, p28, and N but not in the fractions containing p65 and p1a-22. LAMP-1, a marker for late endosomes and lysosomes, was detected in both membrane populations. These results demonstrate that multiple gene 1 proteins segregate into two biochemically distinct but tightly associated membrane populations and that only one of these populations appears to be a site for viral RNA synthesis. The results further suggest that p28 is a component of the viral replication complex whereas the gene 1 proteins p1a-22 and p65 may serve roles during infection that are distinct from viral RNA transcription or replication.

Abstract
Membrane fusion mediated by influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) is believed to proceed via the cooperative action of multiple HA trimers. To determine the minimal number of HA trimers required to trigger fusion, and to assess the importance of cooperativity between these HA trimers, we have generated virosomes containing coreconstituted HAs derived from two strains of virus with different pH dependencies for fusion, X-47 (optimal fusion at pH 5.1; threshold at pH 5.6) and A/Shangdong (optimal fusion at pH 5.6; threshold at pH 6.0), and measured fusion of these virosomes with erythrocyte ghosts by a fluorescence lipid mixing assay. Virosomes with different X-47-to-A/Shangdong HA ratios, at a constant HA-to-lipid ratio, showed comparable ghost-binding activities, and the low-pH-induced conformational change of A/Shangdong HA did not affect the fusion activity of X-47 HA. The initial rate of fusion of these virosomes at pH 5.7 increased directly proportional to the surface density of A/Shangdong HA, and a single A/Shangdong trimer per virosome appeared to suffice to induce fusion. The reciprocal of the lag time before the onset of fusion was directly proportional to the surface density of fusion-competent HA. These results support the notion that there is no cooperativity between HA trimers during influenza virus fusion.

Abstract
Viruses generally have one of two mechanisms for entry and uncoating. They can enter the cell either by endocytosis or by direct fusion at the plasma membrane. We have established a novel mink lung (Mv-1) cell line that expresses a dominant-interfering form of dynamin-1 (K44A) under the control of a tetracycline-responsive element and studied the early events in influenza infection using these cells. We found that influenza virus binds equally to both induced and uninduced cells, but in K44A-expressing cells, electron microscopy showed viruses trapped in deep coated pits and irregular-shaped tubular structures that contain discrete coated regions. We also show by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy that entry of incoming virus into the nucleus is blocked in K44A-expressing cells. Virus replication was assayed by immunofluorescence microscopy and was strongly inhibited at both early and late times postinfection in K44A-expressing cells. Virus infectivity was inhibited by approximately 2 log units in cells expressing K44A dynamin when analyzed by influenza plaque assay. Overall these data show that dynamin is required for efficient influenza virus entry, presumably due to its function in release of vesicles from coated pits.

Abstract
Determination of infectious progeny virus and in vivo labelling with [(35)S]methionine followed by immunoprecipitation demonstrates that the major receptor group human rhinovirus HRV14 is able to infect HeLa cells in the presence of the V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1. However, host cell shut off is delayed and viral yield is decreased in the presence of the drug. Uncoating can thus take place under conditions that prevent endosomal acidification indicating that it is catalysed by the viral receptor alone. Since transport is arrested in early endosomes upon inhibition of vesicle acidification, the data also suggest that productive uncoating takes place from early endocytic compartments.

Abstract
The highly immunosuppressive leporipoxvirus myxoma, previously was shown to promote the loss of cell surface class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC I) molecules. Here, we show that myxoma virus induces the loss of both cell surface and intracellular post-Golgi, beta(2)-microglobulin-associated MHC I. Myxoma-induced loss of these MHC I molecules is abrogated by vacuolar ATPase inhibitors, NH(4)Cl, and leupeptin. Furthermore, immunofluorescence microscopic studies reveal that in myxoma-infected cells, beta(2)-microglobulin-associated MHC I accumulates in Lamp-1(+) vesicular structures, suggesting that myxoma virus targets MHC I for degradation in late endosomes and/or lysosomes. These events are regulated by early gene product or products because they occur unabated in cells infected with myxoma virus in the presence of cytosine arabinoside, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Studies with baby green monkey kidney cells transfected with wild-type and tail-less forms of a mouse MHC I molecule, H-2L(d), indicate that the MHC I cytoplasmic tail is required for myxoma-induced localization in Lamp-1(+) organelles. Myxoma-induced endocytosis and degradation of MHC I may provide the virus with a means of dispensing with cell surface MHC I molecules that were loaded with peptides derived from viral proteins synthesized early in infection.

Abstract
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) replication in BS-C-1 cells was studied in the presence of ten potential uncoating inhibitors. Strong inhibition of HAV replication was only observed in the presence of the phenothiazine compound chlorpromazine and the lysosomotropic agent chloroquine, but not by other lysosomotropic agents. Chlorpromazine and chloroquine were found to prevent virus uncoating. Chlorpromazine is known to inhibit endocytosis of non- clathrin-coated vesicles. Chloroquine is a weak base amine, and thought to inhibit virus replication by preventing endosomal acidification. These results therefore suggest that entry of HAV in BS-C-1 cells does not depend on the low pH encountered in the clathrin-coated endocytic entry pathway. A possible role of calcium ions in mediating viral uncoating is discussed, as calcium ions were found to destabilize HAV particles in vitro.

Abstract
The gp120 envelope glycoprotein of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) interacts with the CXCR4 chemokine receptor, but it is not known whether gp120 activates CXCR4-mediated signaling cascades in the same manner as its natural ligand, SDF1alpha. We assessed the effects of wild-type gp120 and a mutant gp120 that interacts with CXCR4 but not CD4 on CD4(-)/CXCR4(+) cells and CD4(+)/CXCR4(+) cells, respectively. Under both experimental conditions, the interaction of CXCR4 and gp120 resulted in their CD4-independent cointernalization. Both molecules were translocated into early endosomes, whereas neither protein could be detected in late endosomes. Binding of gp120 to CXCR4 resulted in a CD4-independent phosphorylation of Pyk2 and an induction of chemotactic activity, demonstrating that this interaction has functional consequences. Interestingly, however, whereas SDF1alpha activated the ERK/MAP kinase pathway, this cascade was not induced by gp120. Together, these results suggest that the pathology of HIV-1 infection may be modulated by the distinct signal transduction pathway mediated by gp120 upon its interaction with CXCR4.

Abstract
Bafilomycin A1 (baf), a specific inhibitor of vacuolar proton ATPases, is commonly employed to demonstrate the requirement of low endosomal pH for viral uncoating. However, in certain cell types baf also affects the transport of endocytosed material from early to late endocytic compartments. To characterize the endocytic route in HeLa cells that are frequently used to study early events in viral infection, we used 35S-labeled human rhinovirus serotype 2 (HRV2) together with various fluid-phase markers. These virions are taken up via receptor-mediated endocytosis and undergo a conformational change to C-antigenic particles at a pH of <5.6, resulting in release of the genomic RNA and ultimately in infection (E. Prchla, E. Kuechler, D. Blaas, and R. Fuchs, J. Virol. 68:3713-3723, 1994). As revealed by fluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation of microsomes by free-flow electrophoresis (FFE), baf arrests the transport of all markers in early endosomes. In contrast, the microtubule-disrupting agent nocodazole was found to inhibit transport by accumulating marker in endosomal carrier vesicles (ECV), a compartment intermediate between early and late endosomes. Accordingly, lysosomal degradation of HRV2 was suppressed, whereas its conformational change and infectivity remained unaffected by this drug. Analysis of the subcellular distribution of HRV2 and fluid-phase markers in the presence of nocodazole by FFE revealed no difference from the control incubation in the absence of nocodazole. ECV and late endosomes thus have identical electrophoretic mobilities, and intraluminal pHs of <5.6 and allow uncoating of HRV2. As bafilomycin not only dissipates the low endosomal pH but also blocks transport from early to late endosomes in HeLa cells, its inhibitory effect on viral infection could in part also be attributed to trapping of virus in early endosomes which might lack components essential for uncoating. Consequently, inhibition of viral uncoating by bafilomycin cannot be taken to indicate a low pH requirement only.

Abstract
We studied the effect of bafilomycin A1 (Baf-A1), a novel and highly specific inhibitor for vacuolar-type proton (V-H+) pump, on the growth of Japanese Encephalitis virus (JEV) in Vero cells. Viral fluorescence microscopic study showed that Baf-A1 induced the complete disappearance of acidified compartments such as endosomes and lysosomes in Vero cells by the treatment with 0.1 microM Baf-A1 for 1 h at 37 degrees C. In proportion to the disappearance of acidified compartments, virus growth was inhibited when Baf-A1 was present from 1 h before infection to the end of incubation in a dose-dependent manner, or added within as early as 5 min after infection. Conversely, the virus growth was recovered in correlation with the reappearance of acidified compartments after removal of Baf-A1. These results suggest that a low pH condition, which is regulated by Baf-A1-sensitive V-H+ pumps, is essential for the early stage of JEV growth.

Abstract
To understand the topology and mechanism of poliovirus uncoating, the question of whether intact virions can be endocytosed by the host cell was studied by a combination of various techniques. In order to prevent alteration of the virus to subviral particles, Hela cells were infected at 26 degrees C. At this temperature the majority of cell-associated virions remained at the plasma membrane, whereas a smaller amount accumulated in vesicles having the same mobility (upon free-flow electrophoresis) and migration behaviour on Nycodenz density gradients as early and late endosomes. Co-localization of native poliovirions with endosomal markers was verified by peroxidase-induced diaminobenzidine density-shift of endosomal vesicles. Internalization of poliovirions into endosomes makes it likely, but does not prove that viral RNA can be released into the cytoplasm from the vesicular compartment.

Abstract
Early events in rabies virus entry into cultured IMR-32 human neuroblastoma cells were investigated. After adsorption of rabies virus to the cell surface in the cold and warming to 37 degrees C in the presence of tracers for early endosomes, rabies virus and tracers were localized by immunofluorescence microscopy. After 5 min, rabies virus colocalized with Lucifer Yellow, Texas Red-dextran, rhodamine-wheat germ agglutinin, and transferrin receptor in puncta in the cell body, neurites, and nerve terminals. Rabies virus did not colocalize with lysosomal glycoprotein. An acidotropic probe revealed that some of the virus-containing puncta were acidified. Rabies virus also colocalized with synapsin I, a synaptic vesicle marker, in swellings along processes, indicating some virus enters nerve terminals. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of rabies virus within irregular membrane compartments located near the cell surface in the cell body and neurites. The membrane of the virus particle was often continuous with that of the vacuole. It is concluded that rabies virus enters IMR-32 neuroblastoma cells by adsorptive endocytosis and that, shortly after entry, rabies virus is located within and fuses with acidic endosomes.

Abstract
Rabies virus entry into cultured hippocampal neurons was investigated by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. Hippocampal neurons were susceptible to rabies virus infection and became filled with viral antigen 1 day after infection. Infection was inhibited by the lysosomotropic agents chloroquine and ammonium chloride. To study entry, neurons were adsorbed with rabies virus at 4 degrees C and warmed to 37 degrees C for short periods of time prior to fixation and localization of viral antigen by immunofluorescence microscopy By 5 min at 37 degrees C, viral antigen was localized to puncta in the cell body and dendrites and in synapses along dendrites. Little viral antigen was present in axons. Cells adsorbed with rabies virus were incubated with tracers for early endosomes. The endocytic tracers or markers Lucifer Yellow, transferrin receptor, dextran, and wheat germ agglutinin co-localized with rabies virus, indicating that rabies virus enters an endosome compartment shortly after uptake. Rabies virus also co-localized with LysoTracker Red, an acidotropic probe, indicating that some of the virus-containing endosomes are acidified. Rabies virus also co-localized with synapsin I, a synaptic vesicle marker, in nerve terminals but did not co-localize with lysosomal glycoprotein. By electron microscopy, after adsorption of virus and warming for 10 min, virus particles were present in coated pits, coated vesicles, and vacuolar membrane compartments in processes and axon terminals. It is concluded that rabies virus enters the somatodendritic domain and axon terminals of cultured hippocampal neurons by adsorptive endocytosis and is located in endosomes shortly after uptake.

Abstract
African swine fever virus (ASFV) enters Vero cells by adsorptive endocytosis [Valdeira, M.L., Geraldes, A., 1985. Morphological study on the entry of African swine fever virus into cells, Biol Cell. 55, 35-40]. Electron microscopy of a lysosomotropic drug-controlled penetration indicated that this step takes place in the endosomes, after fusion between the viral envelope and the limiting membrane of the endosome. Inhibition studies with colcemid, cytochalasin B, sodium azide, dinitrophenol, lysosomotropic weak bases, and the ionophore monensin, showed that the virus uptake is largely independent of cytoskeletal and lysosomal function, but dependent on oxidative phosphorylation. Some protease inhibitors inhibited viral replication at an early step, indicating that the initiation of infection depends on a viral proteolytic cleavage.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and the low-density lipoprotein receptor are used for cell entry by major and minor receptor group human rhinoviruses (HRVs), respectively. Whereas minor-group viruses, exemplified by HRV2, transfer their genomic RNA to the cytoplasm through a pore in the endosomal membrane (E. Prchla, C. Plank, E. Wagner, D. Blaas, and R. Fuchs, J. Cell Biol. 131:111-123, 1995), the mechanism of in vivo uncoating of major-group HRVs has not been elucidated so far. Using free-flow electrophoresis, we performed a comparative analysis of cell entry by HRV2 and the major group rhinovirus HRV14. Here we demonstrate that this technique allows the separation of free viral particles from those associated with early endosomes, late endosomes, and plasma membranes. Upon free-flow electrophoretic separation of microsomes, HRV14 was recovered from endosomes under conditions which prevent uncoating, whereas the proportion of free viral particles increased with time under conditions which promote uncoating. The remaining virus eluted within numerous fractions corresponding to membraneous material, with no clear endosomal peaks being discernible. This suggests that uncoating of HRV14 results in lysis of the endosomal membrane and release of subviral 135S and 80S particles into the cytoplasm.
