Abstract
Rouleaux (stacked clumps) of red blood cells (RBCs) observed in the blood of COVID-19 patients in three studies call attention to the properties of several enveloped virus strains dating back to seminal findings of the 1940s. For COVID-19, key such properties are: (1) SARS-CoV-2 binds to RBCs in vitro and also in the blood of COVID-19 patients; (2) although ACE2 is its target for viral fusion and replication, SARS-CoV-2 initially attaches to sialic acid (SA) terminal moieties on host cell membranes via glycans on its spike protein; (3) certain enveloped viruses express hemagglutinin esterase (HE), an enzyme that releases these glycan-mediated bindings to host cells, which is expressed among betacoronaviruses in the common cold strains but not the virulent strains, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 and MERS. The arrangement and chemical composition of the glycans at the 22 N-glycosylation sites of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and those at the sialoglycoprotein coating of RBCs allow exploration of specifics as to how virally induced RBC clumping may form. The in vitro and clinical testing of these possibilities can be sharpened by the incorporation of an existing anti-COVID-19 therapeutic that has been found in silico to competitively bind to multiple glycans on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Abstract
VITT is a rare, life-threatening syndrome characterized by thrombotic symptoms in combination with thrombocytopenia, which may occur in individuals receiving the first administration of adenoviral non replicating vectors (AVV) anti Covid19 vaccines. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is characterized by high levels of serum IgG that bind PF4/polyanion complexes, thus triggering platelet activation. Therefore, identification of the fine pathophysiological mechanism by which vaccine components trigger platelet activation is mandatory. Herein, we propose a multistep mechanism involving both the AVV and the neo-synthetized Spike protein. The former can: i) spread rapidly into blood stream, ii), promote the early production of high levels of IL-6, iii) interact with erythrocytes, platelets, mast cells and endothelia, iv) favor the presence of extracellular DNA at the site of injection, v) activate platelets and mast cells to release PF4 and heparin. Moreover, AVV infection of mast cells may trigger aberrant inflammatory and immune responses in people affected by the mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). The pre-existence of natural antibodies binding PF4/heparin complexes may amplify platelet activation and thrombotic events. Finally, neosynthesized Covid 19 Spike protein interacting with its ACE2 receptor on endothelia, platelets and leucocyte may trigger further thrombotic events unleashing the WITT syndrome.

Abstract
Adenoviruses have a bipolar nature: they are ubiquitous pathogens that occasionally cause life-threatening diseases or they can be engineered into powerful gene transfer vectors. The goal of this article is to summarize the most recent advances in adenovirus receptor engagement, internalization, endosomal maturation, endosomal escape and trafficking to the nuclear pore. A better understanding of this initial part of the adenovirus lifecycle may identify new mechanistic-based treatments for adenovirus-induced diseases and help in the engineering of more efficient vectors.

Abstract
Although it has been known for 50 years that adenoviruses (Ads) interact with erythrocytes ex vivo, the molecular and structural basis for this interaction, which has been serendipitously exploited for diagnostic tests, is unknown. In this study, we characterized the interaction between erythrocytes and unrelated Ad serotypes, human 5 (HAd5) and 37 (HAd37), and canine 2 (CAV-2). While these serotypes agglutinate human erythrocytes, they use different receptors, have different tropisms and/or infect different species. Using molecular, biochemical, structural and transgenic animal-based analyses, we found that the primary erythrocyte interaction domain for HAd37 is its sialic acid binding site, while CAV-2 binding depends on at least three factors: electrostatic interactions, sialic acid binding and, unexpectedly, binding to the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) on human erythrocytes. We show that the presence of CAR on erythrocytes leads to prolonged in vivo blood half-life and significantly reduced liver infection when a CAR-tropic Ad is injected intravenously. This study provides i) a molecular and structural rationale for Ad-erythrocyte interactions, ii) a basis to improve vector-mediated gene transfer and iii) a mechanism that may explain the biodistribution and pathogenic inconsistencies found between human and animal models.

Virol J 2008; 5:36. [PMID: 18307775 PMCID: PMC2292172 DOI: 10.1186/1743-422x-5-36] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2008] [Accepted: 02/28/2008] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) virus (ISAV), which causes ISA in marine-farmed Atlantic salmon, is an orthomyxovirus belonging to the genus Isavirus, family Orthomyxoviridae. ISAV agglutinates erythrocytes of several fish species and it is generally accepted that the ISAV receptor destroying enzyme dissolves this haemagglutination except for Atlantic salmon erythrocytes. Recent work indicates that ISAV isolates that are able to elute from Atlantic salmon erythrocytes cause low mortality in challenge experiments using Atlantic salmon. Previous work on ISAV-induced haemagglutination using the highly pathogenic ISAV strain NBISA01 and the low pathogenic ISAV strain RPC/NB-04-0851, showed endocytosis of NBISA01 but not RPC/NB-04-0851. Real-time RT-PCR was used to assess the viral RNA levels in the ISAV-induced haemagglutination reaction samples, and we observed a slight increase in viral RNA transcripts by 36 hours in the haemagglutination reaction with NBISA01 virus when the experiment was terminated. However, a longer sampling interval was considered necessary to confirm ISAV replication in fish erythrocytes and to determine if the infected cells mounted any innate immune response. This study examined the possible ISAV replication and Type I interferon (IFN) system gene induction in Atlantic salmon erythrocytes following ISAV haemagglutination. Results Haemagglutination assays were performed using Atlantic salmon erythrocytes and one haemagglutination unit of the two ISAV strains, NBISA01 and RPC/NB-04-0851, of differing genotypes and pathogenicities. Haemagglutination induced by the highly pathogenic NBISA01 but not the low pathogenic RPC/NB-04-0851 resulted in productive infection as evidenced by increased ISAV segment 8 transcripts and increase in the median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) by 5 days of incubation. Moreover, reverse transcription (RT) quantitative PCR used to compare mRNA levels of key Type I IFN system genes in erythrocyte lysates of haemagglutination reactions with the two ISAV strains showed a higher relative fold increase of IFN-α in NBISA01 haemagglutinations compared to RPC/NB-04-085-1 haemagglutinations (33.0 – 44.26 relative fold increase compared to 11.29). Erythrocytes exposed to heat-inactivated virus or to polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (polyI:C) or to L-15 medium alone (negative control assays) had minimal late induction (<3.5 relative fold increase) of STAT1 and/or ISG15 and Mx genes, whereas erythrocytes exposed to UV-inactivated virus lacked any cytokine induction. Conclusion ISAV-induced haemagglutination by a highly pathogenic virus strain results in virus uptake and productive infection of Atlantic salmon erythrocytes accompanied by significant induction of IFN-α. This study also highlights the critical role of ISAV strain variation in the initial stages of the virus-cell interaction during haemagglutination, and possibly in the pathogenesis of ISA. Moreover, the study shows for the first time that fish erythrocytes immunologically respond to ISAV infection.

Abstract
The objective was to study Orthomyxovirus in heterothermic animals. Blood samples from snakes (genus Bothrops and Crotalus) and from toads and frogs (genus Bufo and Rana) were collected to evaluate the red cell receptors and antibodies specific to influenza virus by the hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition tests, respectively. Both snakes and toads kept in captivity presented receptors in their red cells and antibodies specific to either influenza virus type A (human and equine origin) or influenza type B. The same was observed with recently captured snakes. Concerning the influenza hemagglutination inhibition antibodies protective levels were observed in the reptiles' serum, against influenza type A and type B. Unlike the toads, 83.3% of the frogs presented mean levels of Ab 40HIU for some influenza strains. It was concluded that heterothermic animals could offer host conditions to the influenza virus and also susceptibility to the infection.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus hemagglutinin (HAin) was readily adsorbed on mouse erythrocytes at 4, 22, or 37 degrees C, but not on goose erythrocytes. The adsorbed HAin could not be eluted from the cells by resuspending in phosphate buffered saline, by incubating at 37 or 50 degrees C, or by incubating in the presence of neuraminidase. The hemagglutinating activity was not dependent on the pH and NaCl molarity tested. The receptor of mouse erythrocytes for the HAin was relatively stable to trypsin, neuraminidase, sodium deoxycholate (DOC), potassium periodate (KIO4), dithiothreitol (DTT), 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) and formalin treatments. The HAin was inactivated by 2-ME and was gradually inactivated by pepsin, formalin and DTT, but not by beta-glucosidase, trypsin, alpha-amylase, papain, phospholipase C, neuraminidase, KIO4, and ethylendiamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) treatments. The HAin was stable at 37 degrees C or lower temperatures, but not at 56 degrees C or higher. The HAin was relatively resistant to ultraviolet irradiation and sonication. In the equilibrium centrifugation of the HAin preparation on a CsCl density gradient, the HAin activity showed a sharp peak at 1.17 g/cm2. In the SDS-PAGE analysis, the structural polypeptide of HAin in the peak fraction seems to be the nucleocapsid (N) polypeptide with molecular weight of 15 kDa.

Abstract
Sialic acids are essential components of the cell surface receptors of many microorganisms including viruses. A synthetic, N-substituted D-mannosamine derivative has been shown to act as precursor for structurally altered sialic acid incorporated into glycoconjugates in vivo (Kayser, H., Zeitler, R., Kannicht, C., Grunow, D., Nuck, R., and Reutter, W. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 16934-16938). In this study we have analyzed the potential of three different sialic acid precursor analogues to modulate sialic acid-dependent virus receptor function on different cells. We show that treatment with these D-mannosamine derivatives can result in the structural modification of about 50% of total cellular sialic acid content. Treatment interfered drastically and specifically with sialic acid-dependent infection of two distinct primate polyoma viruses. Both inhibition (over 95%) and enhancement (up to 7-fold) of virus binding and infection were observed depending on the N-acyl substitution at the C-5 position of sialic acid. These effects were attributed to the synthesis of metabolically modified, sialylated virus receptors, carrying elongated N-acyl groups, with altered binding affinities for virus particles. Thus, the principle of biosynthetic modification of sialic acid by application of appropriate sialic acid precursors to tissue culture or in vivo offers new means to specifically influence sialic acid-dependent ligand-receptor interactions and could be a potent tool to further clarify the biological functions of sialic acid, in particular its N-acyl side chain.

Abstract
The erythrocyte receptor on rhesus macaque erythrocytes used by canine parvovirus (CPV) for binding in hemagglutination (HA) was examined. Erythrocyte membrane proteins were electrophoresed and blotted to nitrocellulose and probed with [125I]-labeled CPV capsids, showing seven virus-binding proteins. Treatment of erythrocytes or isolated membranes with Clostridium perfringens neuraminidase virtually abolished virus binding. Binding was also affected by treatment with potassium periodate and inhibited by wheat germ agglutinin, but was not significantly affected by concanavalin A, peanut agglutinin, or soluble N-acetyl-neuraminlactose. A non-HA mutant of CPV failed to bind to erythrocytes or to blotted erythrocyte membrane proteins. The mutation was a single Arg-Lys difference of VP2 amino acid residue 377. The pH dependence of binding of the closely related feline panleukopenia virus was shown to result from a decreased binding in buffers with pH values of 6.8 or greater. The VP2 residues responsible for that difference have been shown to be 323 and 375. The sequences affecting binding were all adjacent to the dimple in the capsid, implicating that region of the capsid as the sialic acid binding site. The role of sialic acid in virus-host cell interactions was not defined, but the plaque sizes of the non-HA mutant and wild type CPV were indistinguishable.

Abstract
Sialic acid and sialyltransferase activity were determined in lymphocytes obtained from the blood of 78 healthy male volunteers aged 20-80 years. When grouping was made in double decades, statistical evaluation using the Duncan procedure indicates that sialic acid did not show significant differences between groups, whereas the sialyltransferase activity was significantly higher in the group aged 41-60 years as compared to the group aged 20-40 years and the group aged 61-80 years, both at the 0.05 level.

Abstract
Viruses replicate only within living cells. Some viruses are restricted in the kinds of cells in which they replicate, and a few have not yet been cultivated at all under laboratory conditions. However, most viruses are grown in cultured cells, embryonated hen's eggs, or laboratory animals. In veterinary virology, the natural host animal is used for the cultivation of viruses; indeed the earliest viral assay has been carried out with foot-and-mouth disease virus in cattle. The natural host is still useful for the studies of pathogenesis and immunology, experiments in chemotherapy, and occasionally for diaglostic purposes. However, the in vitro cultivation of viruses in cell cultures is essential for the study of their mode of replication and for diagnostic virology. Cells may be grown in vitro as explants of tissue, such as respiratory or intestinal epithelium, or as cell cultures. Explant cultures are occasionally used for research purposes or for the cultivation of certain viruses, but almost all diagnostic and research work involving viral cultivation is carried out in cell cultures—usually in monolayers, occasionally as suspension cultures. To produce cell monolayers, tissue is cut into small pieces and placed in a medium containing a proteolytic enzyme such as trypsin. After the cells have dispersed into a single-cell suspension, they are washed, counted, and diluted in a growth medium and permitted to settle on the flat surface of a glass or plastic container. Most types of cells adhere quickly and under optimal conditions, they divide about once a day until the surface is covered with a confluent monolayer.

Abstract
Influenza viruses of contrasting receptor specificity have been examined for their ability to infect receptor-modified MDCK cells containing sialyloligosaccharide receptor determinants of defined sequence. Cells were treated with sialidase to remove sialic acid and render them resistant to infection and were then incubated with sialyltransferase and CMP-sialic acid to restore sialic acid in the SA alpha 2,6Gal or SA alpha 2,3Gal linkages. The viruses A/RI/5 + /57 and A/duck/Ukraine/1/63, previously shown to exhibit preferential binding of SA alpha 2,6Gal and SA alpha 2,3Gal linkages, respectively, were found to exhibit differential infection of the receptor-modified cells in accord with their receptor specificity. Coinfection of SA alpha 2,3Gal derivatized cells with a mixture of the two viruses resulted in selective propagation of the SA alpha 2,3Gal-specific A/duck/Ukraine/1/63 virus. The results demonstrate the potential for cell surface receptors to mediate selection of receptor-specific variants of influenza virus.

Abstract
Two N-acetylgalactosamine-reactive lectins, Helix pomatia (HPA) and Dolichos biflorus (DBA), were used to study the energies involved in cell-cell interactions through the specific binding of these lectins to their membrane receptors on genotype AO human erythrocytes (red blood cells) (RBCs). The energy required to dissociate a unit of aggregated membrane area (gamma d) of two RBCs bridged by lectin molecules was determined from the shear force needed to dissociate two-cell aggregates in a flow channel. When HPA were used as bridging molecules, gamma d (0.4 X 10(-4) to 3.8 X 10(-4) dyn/cm) was proportional to the density (D = 175 to 1,060 molecules/micron 2) of HPA molecules bound on the RBC membrane. A similar gamma d/D ratio was also obtained for DBA. These results indicate that the number of lectin molecules bound on the interface plays an important role in determining the energy required for cell-cell dissociation. The aggregation energy per unit membrane area (gamma a) in lectin-induced aggregates was calculated from the degree of encapsulation of a lectin-bound, heat-sphered human RBC by a normal discoid RBC. A minimum of approximately 1,800 HPA molecules/micron 2 on the spheres was required to form stable aggregates with the RBC. By using spheres having a surface HPA density of 1,830 to 2,540 molecules/micron 2, or 1.1-1.5 X 10(12) combining sites/cm2, the gamma a value for HPA-induced aggregation was found to be 2.2 X 10(-3) dyn/cm. This higher value of gamma a than gamma d has been explained on the basis of several differences in aggregation and disaggregation processes. The gamma a value for DBA-induced aggregation was not obtainable by the sphere encapsulation method because of the relative low D values. A comparison of the present results with the published value of the free energy change of 5 kcal/mol for the interactions of HPA and DBA with their ligands suggests that only a small fraction of the lectin molecules bound to RBC surface participate in the bridging of adjacent cells.

Abstract
Pig erythrocyte membranes were used as adsorbent material for the concentration of bacteriophage phi x-174, MS-2, and f2 from 5 ml of saline solution. The adsorption was carried out at pH 3.5, and the elution was carried out at pH 7.0. Compared with adsorption on 3% beef extract, bacteriophage adsorption on erythrocyte ghost cells yielded 93 to 100%, and elution was 92 to 100%, whereas beef extract organic flocculation yielded adsorption of 0 to 98.8% and elution of 61 to 86.6%. The same procedure but with poliovirus LSC-1 gave 100% adsorption and 91 to 129% elution.

Abstract
We purified three populations of virus particles, F7, F9 and F17, with buoyant densities of 1.34, 1.33 and 1.29 g/ml, respectively, in CsCl equilibrium density gradients from cultures of chick embryo liver cells infected with the H-162 strain of the virus of egg drop syndrome 1976. F9 particles were infectious complete virions and most F17 particles were empty particles. F7 particles were less infectious, and had little capacity of hemagglutination (HA). HA titers were the same at 4 degrees and 37 degrees C and maximal between pH 6.4 and 8.4 and ionic strength from 0.14 to 0.54 M of NaCl. HA titer was inversely proportional to erythrocyte concentration. Potassium periodate destroyed markedly the infectivity of the virus and partially its HA activity at 37 degrees C. HA activity was stable at 56 degrees C or lower temperatures and destroyed at 80 degrees C. Trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, papain, ficin and neuraminidase had no effect on HA activity. Alpha-chymotrypsin destroyed the receptor for the virus on chicken erythrocytes, whereas trypsin and neuraminidase did not affect the receptor.

Abstract
The binding of influenza virus to erythrocytes and host cells is mediated by the interaction of the viral hemagglutinin (H) with cell surface receptors containing sialic acid (SA). The specificity of this interaction for 19 human and animal influenza isolates was examined using human erythrocytes enzymatically modified to contain cell surface sialyloligosaccharides with the sequence SA alpha 2,6Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc; SA alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,4(3)GlcNAc; SA alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc; or SA alpha 2,6GalNAc. Although none of the viruses agglutinated cells containing the SA alpha 2,6GalNAc linkage, differential agglutination of cells containing the other three sequences revealed at least three distinct receptor binding types. Several virus isolates exhibited marked receptor specificity, binding only to cells containing the SA alpha 2,6Gal or the SA alpha 2,3Gal linkage, while others bound equally well to cells containing either linkage. Moreover, some viruses could distinguish between two oligosaccharide receptor determinants containing the terminal SA alpha 2,3Gal linkage when present in the SA alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,4(3)GlcNAc sequence or the SA alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc sequence binding cells containing only the former. The observed receptor specificities were not significantly influenced by the viral neuraminidases as shown by the use of the potent neuraminidase inhibitor 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid. Receptor specificity appeared, to some extent, to be dependent on the species from which the virus was isolated. In particular, human isolates of the H3 serotype all agglutinated cells containing the SA alpha 2,6Gal linkage, but not cells bearing the SA alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,3GalNAc sequence. In contrast, antigenically similar (H3) isolates from avian and equine species preferentially bound erythrocytes containing the SA alpha 2,3Gal linkage. This is of particular interest in view of the identification of the avian virus H3 hemagglutinin as the progenitor of the H3 hemagglutinin present on the current human Hong Kong viruses.

Abstract
An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of trypsin and neuraminidase on the infectivity of Plasmodium gallinaceum sporozoites. The sporozoites were obtained from freshly dissected salivary glands of Aedes aegypti: their infectivity was assayed by their ability to produce a patent parasitaemia following their inoculation into day-old chicks. Infectivity was abolished by treatment of the sporozoites with trypsin at a concentration of 100 micrograms ml-1 for 30 minutes at 30 degrees C. Incubation of sporozoites with neuraminidase (1 unit ml-1 for 30 minutes at 37 degrees C), however, had no effect on their infectivity. It is suggested that the proteolytic action of the trypsin removed a presumed receptor for the cells of the reticulo-endothelial system from the surface of the sporozoite.

Abstract
The ganglioside composition of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells and the role of the individual gangliosides in binding and penetration into the cell of influenza virus were determined. EAC gangliosides identical with or close to GM3, GM2, GM1, GT1a and GT1b were characterized by thin-layer chromarography, compositional analyses, methylation analysis and mass-spectrometry. The ganglioside uptake capacity of native and neuraminidase-treated EAC cells was studied with tritium-labeled gangliosides of definite structure and the binding of influenza virus to cells was determinated by using [3H]uridine-labeled virus and by hemagglutination studies. Treatment of the cells with Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase largely decreased binding of the virus. Exogenous gangliosides with a terminal galactose unit or a penultimate galactose masked by neuraminic acid were able to restore the virus-binding capacity of neuraminidase-treated cells, however, the main ganglioside of EAC cells, GM2, which carbohydrate chain is terminated by N-acetylgalactosamine, was completely ineffective. The common carbohydrate sequence of the gangliosides showing binding activity (formula; see text) is proposed to be the main recognition structure of the influenza virus receptor on the surface of EAC cells. Penetration of labeled influenza virus into the nuclei of EAC cells was evaluated by measuring the radioactivity of the nuclei of neuraminidase-treated ganglioside-loaded cells after exposition to the labeled virus. Of all gangliosides tested only trisialogangliosides of the GT1b type were able to induce increased entry of the virus into the cells and accumulation of its radioactive component into the nuclei. It is suggested that GT1b gangliosides react specifically with the virus protein responsible for membrane fusion (apparently the hemagglutinin HA2 subunit) and thus are involved in virus penetration and delivery of the virus genome to the nuclei.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that influenza A virus can activate the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) respiratory burst and that upon subsequent stimulation of the cell there is depressed metabolic function. We examined the mechanism by which influenza virus causes PMN dysfunction by measuring the effect upon the chemiluminescent activity of cells of varying the type of influenza virus used, the period of time that cells were exposed to virus, and the secondary stimulus that was used. The various types of intact influenza virus elicited different amounts of chemiluminescent activity, but when cells were subsequently stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate, each virus caused equivalent depression of the PMN response. Purified glycoproteins incorporated into a liposome structure similarly stimulated the PMN chemiluminescence, yet did not induce PMN dysfunction. Depressed PMN function was noted after as little as 5 min of incubation of cells with virus and occurred to both receptor-dependent (zymosan, N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, and phorbol myristate acetate) and -independent (calcium ionophore A23187) stimuli.

Abstract
The role of the oxygen-dependent microbicidal systems of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in virus inactivation is not known. We found that isolated neutrophils responded to incubation with purified influenza virus A particles by consumption of oxygen, generation of chemiluminescence, and production of superoxide; these reactions occurred in the absence of serum. Resting leukocyte oxygen consumption doubled in the presence of virus; the average rate of consumption 2 to 12 min after virus was added was 1.54 nmol/10(7) cells per min. Live virus also stimulated superoxide production in a dose-dependent manner at a rate up to 4.54 nmol/10(7) cells per min. Luminol-amplified chemiluminescence was a rapid dose-dependent reaction which peaked 2 to 4 min after live or ultraviolet light-inactivated virus was added. No light was emitted when heat-inactivated virus particles were used, suggesting that heat-labile factors on the virus envelope may be involved in oxidative stimulation. Virus-stimulated neutrophils from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease emitted no light. The evidence that virus initiated the respiratory burst of neutrophils provided a potential mechanism for virus destruction, either by direct intracellular inactivation or by neutrophil-mediated cellular cytotoxicity of virus-infected target cells.

Abstract
The binding of several glycoproteins to freshly grown and harvested cells of Mycoplasma gallisepticum was examined. Only human glycophorin, the major sialoglycoprotein of the erythrocyte membrane, bound tightly as judged by direct binding assays with 125I-labeled glycoproteins. Neuraminidase-treated glycophorin did not bind, suggesting that binding is mediated through sialic acid groups. Although other sialoglycoproteins did not appear to bind M. gallisepticum by direct binding assays, some inhibited the binding of glycophorin. The best inhibitors had a mucin-like structure, with high molecular weights and high sialic acid contents. N-acetylneuraminic acid appeared to be the favored sialic acid structure for binding, but there was no strict specificity for its anomeric linkage. Neuraminidase activity could not be detected on the surface of M. gallisepticum, suggesting that this enzyme is not involved in the mechanism of adherence of sialoglycoproteins. Binding of sialoglycoproteins was time dependent, however, and markedly diminished with increasing ionic strength, but was largely unaffected between pH 4 and 9.

Abstract
The binding of Sendai virus to polystyrene petri dishes to which various gangliosides of defined structures had been adsorbed was determined. The ganglioside-bound virus was visualized either by a water vapor condensation method or by a hemadsorption method. By either assay, specific virus binding of high affinity was demonstrated to the gangliosides GT1a, GQ1b, and GPlc which have a common end sequence in the oligosaccharide moiety: NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 8NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc leads to. Binding also occurred to the GD1a and GT1b gangliosides, which have the same end carbohydrate sequence except for the terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid, but the affinity was only 1-9% of that of the gangliosides with a terminal disialosyl linkage. It is proposed that the structure NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 8NeuAc alpha 2 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc is the recognition-specific structure of the receptor for Sendai virus that is present on cell membrane gangliosides and possibly also glycoproteins. Binding tests to plastic-adsorbed glycolipids are suggested to be a useful tool for identification of the receptor recognition structure.

Abstract
Aggregation of intramembrane particles of human erythrocytes was found to be induced by HVJ (Sendai virus) under conditions which lead to cell fusion. Degree of polyerythrocyte formation was compared under a variety of conditions with extent of cluster formation observed with the same preparations. Both structural changes of the membranes, ie, fusion and clustering of the particles, behaved very similarly under widely different virus-to-cell ratios and over the time course of cell fusion. Furthermore, by inclusion of high concentrations of antispectrin antibodies within the ghosts, inhibition of clustering of intramembrane particles and hindrance of virus-induced cell fusion were found to occur simultaneously. Antibodies by themselves did not induce aggregation of particles under isotonic conditions, whereas particle clustering could be induced under hypotonic conditions at antibody concentrations causing partial cross-linking of spectrin molecules. In conclusion, clustering of intramembrane particles seems to be required for virus-induced fusion of human erythrocytes.

Parainfluenza-3 virus was isolated by affinity chromatography, including a purification step with immobilized lectin Vicia erwilia. The peplomers of disintegrated virus were similarily isolated using another carbohydrate-specific lectin Vicia crotalaria. The whole virion and the peplomers were both active as antigens in the leucocyte migration inhibition, lymphocyte stimulation and skin hypersensitivity tests. The remaining virus material, freed of detergents used for virus disintegration and containing nucleocapsids, did not act as antigen in these tests of cell-mediated immunity.

Abstract
Equine infectious anemia (EIA) virus which was propagated on an equine dermal cell line agglutinated guinea pig erythrocytes. Viral fluids containing about 10(7.5) mean tissue culture infective doses/ml showed hemagglutinating (HA) titers ranging from 16 to 32 units/0.05 ml. Results of cesium chloride equilibrium density gradient centrifugation revealed that the hemagglutinin was inseparable from the virus particles. The hemagglutination reaction persisted over a wide range of temperature and pH, and the absence of divalent cations did not decrease its activity. The HA activity was stable at 4 degrees C but not at 56 degreesC. The activity was destroyed by virus-disrupting lipid solvents and moderately sensitive to a proteolytic enzyme. Neuraminidase enhanced HA activity slightly. Phospholipase C had no effect on HA titer, although it completely inactivated infectivity. It was relatively stable to ultraviolet irradiation. Thus, the hemagglutinin appears to be closely associated with virus particles, and its activity is dependent on the presence of its lipids and proteins. Hemagglutination was inhibited by sera from horses infected with EIA virus. Hemagglutinin receptors on the erythrocytes were inactivated by a proteolytic enzyme and formaldehyde but were not influenced by neuraminidase, sodium deoxycholate, or KIO4.

Abstract
Present knowledge of cell surface receptors for animal viruses is reviewed. The methods used for enumeration and identification of receptors are critically examined with respect to particular advantages and disadvantages. Specific controls and alternative interpretations are suggested in connection with the reactions of lectins which block viral attachment to cells. Currently available information for each group of animal viruses is summarized in order to define the extent to which the corresponding receptors have been identified. It is concluded that the full range of virus-receptor interactions has not yet been explored even for those viruses of which there is the most detailed knowledge. For some groups, moreover, the receptor is totally uncharacterized. Six areas in which future investigative effort might be productive are identified, including the isolation of membrane components and the immunochemical definition of viral receptors.

Abstract
A quantitative method has been developed to determine agglutinability of mouse red blood cells. Tests with different inbred strains of mice revealed only two phenotypes. The same inbred strains were tested with the cytopherometer to determine the electrophoretic mobility of the corresponding red cells. Again, two phenotypes were uncovered, and faster mobility was found in the red cells that had higher agglutinability. The genetic control of this character is autosomal and codominant, and segregates independently of H-2 and coat color.
