Receptor binding and subsequent cell-mediated internalization or
disassembly are the initial steps in virus replication. Cell surface
molecules that participate in this process are the primary determinants of
virus tissue tropism. Monoclonal antibody blockade, immunoprecipitation,
and DNA transfection were used to identify decay accelerating factor as a
major cell attachment receptor for coxsackieviruses B1, B3, and B5.
However, expression of human decay acceleration factor on the surface of
nonpermissive murine fibroblasts led only to virus attachment without
subsequent replication, and it was concluded that an additional cellular
cofactor(s) is required to facilitate cell entry and subsequent
replication.
