Abstract:
Dengue virus receptor is one of the hot issues in the investigation of dengue virus. The structures of many receptors, such as proteins, Fc-R, heparin sulphate and LPS/CD14-associated binding proteins, have been confirmed. Recently, great progress has been made in the research of some special receptors found in cells suseptible to dengue virus, and protein compositions binding to the virus membrane domain have been isolated from several susceptible cell lines. The candidates for the composition of the receptor can be catergorized into heat-shock protein, glucose regulated protein, laminin receptor, DC specific ICAM-3 grabbing non-integring, etc. This article reviewed the recent advancements in the study of dengue virus receptors.
