  • Title: Productive infection of chick embryo cells by influenza viruses tightly bound on substratum.
    Author: Huang RT, Wahn K, Schmidt MF, Rott R.
    Journal: Med Microbiol Immunol; 1981; 170(2):91-8. PubMed ID: 7322022.
    Abstract:
    To test whether penetration of influenza viruses could occur at the plasma membrane of host cells, virus particles were tightly bound on Concanavalin A-coated substratum of plastic culture plates and then overlayed with embryo cells. Under these conditions, endocytosis of the viruses was prevented but the cells were found to be effectively infected. The results indicate, that infection by influenza viruses can occur through fusion between the viral membrane and the host cell plasma membrane.
