Virus interactions with mucosal surfaces: alternative receptors, alternative pathways

Bergelson, Jeffrey M·2003·Current Opinion in Microbiology

Abstract

Viruses attach to specific receptors, but identified receptors are often absent from the epithelial surfaces where infections begin. Viruses can bind to alternative receptor molecules present on epithelial surfaces and they can enter hosts in ways that bypass mucosal barriers to infection. To understand how viruses cross the mucosa to initiate infection we need new information about the mechanisms of attachment and entry into cells, but we also need in vivo studies to define precisely where infection occurs.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Cell-cell junctions act as a barrier to virus entry and dissemination into the airway submucosa.

    “Cell-cell junctions act as a barrier to virus entry and dissemination into the airway submucosa.”
  • Cell-cell junctions hinder viral access to receptors within the epithelial basolateral membrane, an important interaction and entry site for several viruses.

    “They hinder viral access to receptors within the epithelial basolateral membrane, which is an important interaction and entry site for several viruses (18, 19).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
