Role of glycoproteins in virus-human cell interactions
Glycosylation of viral proteins is clearly advantageous to virus survival, having roles in cell entry, proteolytic processing, trafficking and immune evasion. For enveloped RNA viruses, including many important human pathogens, entry into host cells tends to be mediated by viral glycoproteins. Struc...
