Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) from which the
cytoplasmic domain had been deleted and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored CAR lacking both transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains
were both capable of facilitating adenovirus 5-mediated gene delivery
and infection by coxsackievirus B3. These results indicate that the CAR
extracellular domain is sufficient to permit virus attachment and entry
and that the presence of a GPI anchor does not prevent infection.
