Abstract

Previous studies have assigned 88 human rhinovirus (HRV) serotypes to major and minor receptor groups. Extension of these studies to include the remaining 14 unassigned serotypes indicated that 13 serotypes belong to the major group since their infection of HeLa cells is completely blocked by a monoclonal antibody that recognizes the major group receptor. This result indicates that the major group now accounts for 91 of the 102 known serotypes, while the minor group contains 10 serotypes. One serotype, HRV-87, appears to utilize neither the major nor minor group receptor and may represent a third receptor group. HRV-87 attachment cannot be blocked by other serotypes and displays a binding tropism similar to but distinct from minor group viruses. Unlike major and minor group serotypes, HRV-87 attachment and infection requires the presence of sialic acid on cellular receptors.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Taken together, our data demonstrate that ICAM-5 can serve as a functional cellular receptor for EV-D68 infection in primary cells. Like rhinovirus, sialic acid can bind EV-D68 and is required for EV-D68 infection (Baggen et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2015a; Uncapher et al., 1991). In our hands, EV-D68 infection of HEK293T and A172 cells could be blocked by the ICAM-5 fragment.
