説明

The mechanisms of Marek's disease virus (MDV) entry to host cells have not yet been analyzed. Heparan sulfate (HS) on the cell surface serves as a receptor for several herpesviruses in mammalian species. In this study, we demonstrated that plaque formation by cell-free MDV is inhibited by the addition of soluble heparin to the cell culture. Moreover, pretreatment of susceptible cells, chicken embryo fibroblasts, with heparinase, partially reduced infectivity of the cell-free MDV. From these results, it was suggested that the MDV entry, at least in the case of cell-free MDV, is dependent on the presence of cell surface glycosaminoglycans, principally HS.
