Abstract
In this paper, a delayed virus model with two different transmission methods and treatments is investigated. This model is a time-delayed version of the model in (Zhang et al. in Comput. Math. Methods Med. 2015:758362, 2015). We show that the virus-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is smaller than one, and by regarding the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, the existence of local Hopf bifurcation is investigated. The results show that time delay can change the stability of the endemic equilibrium. Finally, we give some numerical simulations to illustrate the theoretical findings.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) infections have been almost eradicated in some industrialized nations. However, MV continues to cause severe disease and mortality in the world and is responsible for clusters of exogenous-borne disease in essentially disease-free countries. Because of the ebb and flow of immunization campaigns, especially in the poverty-stricken and war-torn Third World, and the ominous potential for severe disease and mortality, it is vital that research for discovery of therapeutic countermeasures should continue. To that end, a number of compounds have been evaluated for efficacy in vitro and in animal models, and several therapeutic modalities have been tested in the clinic. The only current therapies used in the clinic include ribavirin administered orally or intravenously, alone or in combination with immune serum globulin; these therapies have demonstrated variable efficacy. Therefore, drug discovery efforts have been launched to supplement the existing treatments for MV infections. Antisense molecules, adenosine and guanosine nucleosides, including ring-expanded ‘fat’ nucleoside analogues, brassinosteroids, coumarins, peptide inhibitors, modulators of cholesterol synthesis and a variety of natural products have been screened for efficacy and toxicity both in vitro and in animals. However, none of these agents has gone into human clinical trials and most will not merit further development due to toxicity concerns and/or low potency. Thus, further research is needed to develop more potent and less toxic drugs that could be used for treating MV infections to supplement the existing MV vaccine campaigns.

Abstract
The cure effect of a virus model with both cell-to-cell transmission and cell-to-virus transmission is studied. By the method of next generation matrix, the basic reproduction number is obtained. The locally asymptotic stability of the virus-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium is considered by investigating the characteristic equation of the model. The globally asymptotic stability of the virus-free equilibrium is proved by constructing suitable Lyapunov function, and the sufficient condition for the globally asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium is obtained by constructing suitable Lyapunov function and using LaSalle invariance principal.

Abstract
The complement system is a major component of the innate immune system that recognizes invading pathogens and eliminates them by means of an array of effector mechanisms, in addition to using direct lytic destruction. Viruses, in spite of their small size and simple composition, are also deftly recognized and neutralized by the complement system. In turn, as a result of years of coevolution with the host, viruses have developed multiple mechanisms to evade the host complement. These complex interactions between the complement system and viruses have been an area of focus for over three decades. In this article, we provide a broad overview of the field using key examples and up-to-date information on the complement-evasion strategies of viruses.

Abstract
Measles is an important cause of child mortality that has a seemingly paradoxical interaction with the immune system. In most individuals, the immune response is successful in eventually clearing measles virus (MV) infection and in establishing life-long immunity. However, infection is also associated with persistence of viral RNA and several weeks of immune suppression, including loss of delayed type hypersensitivity responses and increased susceptibility to secondary infections. The initial T-cell response includes CD8+ and T-helper 1 CD4+ T cells important for control of infectious virus. As viral RNA persists, there is a shift to a T-helper 2 CD4+ T-cell response that likely promotes B-cell maturation and durable antibody responses but may suppress macrophage activation and T-helper 1 responses to new infections. Suppression of mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation can be induced by lymphocyte infection with MV or by lymphocyte exposure to a complex of the hemagglutinin and fusion surface glycoproteins without infection. Dendritic cells (DCs) are susceptible to infection and can transmit infection to lymphocytes. MV-infected DCs are unable to stimulate a mixed lymphocyte reaction and can induce lymphocyte unresponsiveness through expression of MV glycoproteins. Thus, multiple factors may contribute both to measles-induced immune suppression and to the establishment of durable protective immunity.

Abstract
Adenovirus 11 prototype (Ad11p), belonging to species B, uses CD46 as an attachment receptor. CD46, a complement regulatory molecule, is expressed on all human nucleated cells. We show here that Ad11p virions downregulate CD46 on the surface of K562 cells as early as 5min p.i. Specific binding to CD46 by the Ad11p fiber knob was required to mediate downregulation. The complement regulatory factors CD55 and CD59 were also reduced to a significant extent as a consequence of Ad11p binding to K562 cells. In contrast, binding of Ad7p did not result in downregulation of CD46 early in infection. Thus, the presumed interaction between Ad7p and CD46 did not have the same consequences as the Ad11p-CD46 interaction, the latter virus (Ad11p) being a promising gene therapy vector candidate. These findings may lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of species B adenovirus infections.

Abstract
While the antiviral response during measles virus (MeV) infection is documented, the contribution of the hosting cell type to the type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) response is still not clearly established. Here, we report that a signature heterogeneity of the IFN-alpha/beta response according to the cell type. The MeV tropism dictated by the expression of appropriate cellular receptor appeared to be crucial for epithelial cells. For conventional DCs (cDCs), the maturation state played a prominent role. In response to both wild type MeV isolates and laboratory/vaccine strains, immature cDCs produced higher levels of IFN-alpha than mature cDCs, despite the reduced expression levels of both CD46 and CD150 receptors by the former ones. While in epithelial cells and cDCs the MeV transcription was required to activate the IFN-alpha/beta response, plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) rapidly produced large amounts of IFN-alpha mostly independently of the viral infection cycle. This argues for a significant contribution of pDCs in response to MeV infection and/or vaccination.

Abstract
Measles virus (MeV) infection is characterized by the formation of multinuclear giant cells (MGC). We report that beta interferon (IFN-beta) production is amplified in vitro by the formation of virus-induced MGC derived from human epithelial cells or mature conventional dendritic cells. Both fusion and IFN-beta response amplification were inhibited in a dose-dependent way by a fusion-inhibitory peptide after MeV infection of epithelial cells. This effect was observed at both low and high multiplicities of infection. While in the absence of virus replication, the cell-cell fusion mediated by MeV H/F glycoproteins did not activate any IFN-alpha/beta production, an amplified IFN-beta response was observed when H/F-induced MGC were infected with a nonfusogenic recombinant chimerical virus. Time lapse microscopy studies revealed that MeV-infected MGC from epithelial cells have a highly dynamic behavior and an unexpected long life span. Following cell-cell fusion, both of the RIG-I and IFN-beta gene deficiencies were trans complemented to induce IFN-beta production. Production of IFN-beta and IFN-alpha was also observed in MeV-infected immature dendritic cells (iDC) and mature dendritic cells (mDC). In contrast to iDC, MeV infection of mDC induced MGC, which produced enhanced amounts of IFN-alpha/beta. The amplification of IFN-beta production was associated with a sustained nuclear localization of IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) in MeV-induced MGC derived from both epithelial cells and mDC, while the IRF-7 up-regulation was poorly sensitive to the fusion process. Therefore, MeV-induced cell-cell fusion amplifies IFN-alpha/beta production in infected cells, and this indicates that MGC contribute to the antiviral immune response.

Abstract
Lymphocyte function in vivo is dictated by multiple external cues, but the integration of different signals is not well understood. Here, we show that competition for the axis of polarization dictates functional outcomes. We investigated the effect of ligation of the immunoregulatory cell surface receptor, CD46, on lymphocyte polarity during antigen presentation and cytotoxic effector function. Ligation of CD46 on human T cells prevented recruitment of the microtubule organizing center, CD3, and perforin to the interface with the antigen-presenting cell and caused a reduction in IFN-gamma production. In human NK cells, similar changes in polarity induced by CD46 ligation inhibited the recruitment of the microtubule organizing center and perforin to the interface with target cells and correlated with reduced killing. These data indicate that external signals can alter lymphocyte polarization toward antigen-presenting cells or target cells, inhibiting lymphocyte function.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) causes transient but profound immunosuppression resulting in increased susceptibility to secondary bacterial and viral infections. Due to the development of these opportunistic infections, measles remains the leading vaccine-preventable cause of child death worldwide. Different immune abnormalities have been associated with measles, including disappearance of delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, impaired lymphocyte and antigen-presenting cell functions, down-regulation of pro-inflammatory interleukin 12 production and altered interferon alpha/beta signalling pathways. Several MV proteins have been suggested to hinder immune functions: hemagglutinin, fusion protein, nucleoprotein and the non-structural V and C proteins. This review will focus on the novel functions attributed to MV proteins in the immunosuppression associated with measles. Here, we highlight new advances in the field, emphasising the interaction between MV proteins and their cellular targets, in particular the cell membrane receptors, CD46, CD150, TLR2 and FcgammaRII in the induction of immunological abnormalities associated with measles.

Abstract
Previous research showed that the expression of measles virus receptor CD46 was downregulated after expression of measles virus hemagglutinin protein on the surface of the virus infected cell or triggered by infected cell-to-cell contact. We reported here that the mRNA level of CD46 in MV infected cells was not changed which was tested by real-time quantitative PCR. To further analyse the surface expression alteration of CD46 after MV infection, flow cytometric analysis and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect the protein level of CD46. Altogether, our results provided a demonstration that the expression of CD46 was not downregulated by the infection of MV strain S191 both on mRNA level and cellular surface protein level. Previous results reported that the "downregulation" of CD46 expression on the cell surface may take place because H protein masks the antibody recognition site on CD46 which results in "downregulation" of the expression of CD46.

Abstract
In the last 10 years, the human cell-surface molecule, CD46, has evolved from 'just another complement regulator' to a receptor for a striking array of pathogens. CD46 not only protects cells from complement-mediated attack and facilitates infection by a large number of pathogens, but also exerts complex effects on cellular immune function. It has been proposed that CD46 links innate and adaptive immunity by affecting cellular immune function in response to complement binding, and the role of CD46 in the pathogenesis of many infectious pathogens is now the subject of intense investigation. So far, the flood of information that implicates CD46 in modifying a host response to measles, Neisseria, human herpes virus 6, and pathogens that activate complement has not yet been matched with a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which CD46 affects immune function. This review summarizes the evidence that points to a significant role for CD46 in a range of pathological processes and describes how CD46 might exert its effects by altering signal transduction and antigen presentation pathways.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV)-infected cells are activators of the alternative human complement pathway, resulting in high deposition of C3b on the cell surface. Activation was observed independent of whether CD46 was used as a cellular receptor and did not correlate with CD46 down-regulation. The virus itself was an activator of the alternative pathway and was covered by C3b/C3bi, resulting in some loss in infectivity without loss of virus binding to target cells. The cell surface expression of MV fusion (F), but not haemagglutinin, envelope protein resulted in complement activation of the Factor B-dependent alternative pathway in a dose-dependent manner and F-C3b complexes were formed. The underlying activation mechanism was not related to any decrease in cell surface expression of the complement regulators CD46 and CD55. The C3b/C3bi coating of MV-infected cells and virus should ensure enhanced targeting of MV antigens to the immune system, through binding to complement receptors.

Abstract
Human membrane cofactor protein (CD46) protects host cells against complement attack and may function as a receptor for pathogenic Neisseriae. We assessed CD46 expression in the human cervical cell line ME-180 after exposure to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Piliated but not nonpiliated gonococci adhered to cells and produced up to an 80% reduction in CD46 surface expression by 6 h that persisted for at least 24 h. This response required a minimum multiplicity of infection of 10 and was not prevented by antibodies to CD46. CD46 down-regulation was not attributable to intracellular retention or a global or specific shutdown of mRNA or protein synthesis. Substantial quantities of CD46 were found in the supernatants, indicating a specific shedding of this protein. Adherent gonococci lacking the pilus retraction protein PilT did not down-regulate CD46 but de-repression of pilT expression restored CD46 down-regulation. After experimental infection of human volunteers with a gonococcal variant incapable of inducing CD46 down-regulation, variants of this strain were reisolated that exhibited CD46 down-regulation. Pilus-mediated interactions of gonococci with human epithelial cells results in a pathogen-induced manipulation of the host cell environment in which a membrane protein is removed from epithelial cells by liberation into the surrounding milieu.

Abstract
CD46 is a ubiquitous human cell surface receptor for the complement components C3b and C4b and for various pathogens, including the measles virus and human herpes virus 6. Ligand binding to CD46 affects (i) protection of autologous cells from complement attack by breakdown of complement components, (ii) intracellular signals that affect the regulation of immune cell function, (iii) antigen presentation, and (iv) down-regulation of cell surface CD46. Recent evidence indicates that CD46 signaling can link innate and acquired immune function. The molecular mechanisms for these processes and the importance of intracellular trafficking of the receptor have not yet been elucidated. We demonstrate here that, in nonlymphoid cells, CD46 is constitutively internalized via clathrin-coated pits, traffics to multivesicular bodies, and is recycled to the cell surface. However, cross-linking of CD46 at the cell surface, by either multivalent antibody or by measles virus, induces pseudopodia that engulf the ligand in a process similar to macropinocytosis, and leads to the degradation of cell surface CD46. Thus, we have elucidated two pathways for CD46 internalization, which are regulated by the valence of cross-linking of CD46 and which utilize either clathrin-coated pits or pseudopodial extension. This has important implications for CD46 signaling, antigen presentation, CD46 down-regulation, and engulfment of pathogens.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) infects endothelial cells of the skin, the brain and other organs during acute or persistent infections. Endothelial cells are supposed to play an important role in virus spread from the blood stream to surrounding tissues. CD46 and CD150 (signalling lymphocytic activation molecule, SLAM) have been described as cellular receptors for certain MV strains. We found that human umbilical vein and brain microvascular endothelial cells (HUVECs and HBMECs) were CD46-positive, but did not express SLAM. Wild-type MV strains, which do not use CD46 as a receptor at the surface of transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells, infected HUVECs and HBMECs to varying extents in a strain-dependent way. This infection was not inhibited by antibodies to CD46. These data suggest the presence of an additional unidentified receptor for MV uptake and spread in human endothelial cells.

Abstract
Although CNS complications occurring early and late after acute measles are a serious problem and often fatal, the transient immunosuppression lasting for several weeks after the rash is the major cause of measles-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. This review is focused on the interactions of measles virus (MV) with cellular receptors on neural and lymphoid cells which are important elements in viral pathogenesis. First, the cognate MV receptors, CD46 and CD150, are important components of viral tropism by mediating binding and entry. Second, however, additional unknown cellular surface molecules may (independently of viral uptake) after interaction with the MV glycoprotein complex act as signaling molecules and thereby modulate cellular survival, proliferation, and specific functions.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) interacts with cellular receptors on the surface of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) which mediate virus binding and uptake. Simultaneously, the direct contact of the viral glycoproteins with the cell surface induces a negative signal blocking progression to the S phase of the cell cycle, resulting in a pronounced proliferation inhibition. We selected a monoclonal antibody (MAb 5C6) directed to the surface of highly MV-susceptible B cells (B95a), which inhibits binding to and infection of cells with MV wild-type and vaccine strains. By screening a retroviral cDNA library from human splenocytes (ViraPort; Stratagene) with this antibody, we cloned and identified the recognized molecule as signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM; CD150), which is identical to the MV receptor recently found by H. Tatsuo et al. (Nature 406:893-897, 2000). After infection of cells, and after surface contact with MV envelope proteins, SLAM is downregulated from the cell surface of activated PBL and cell lines. Although anti-SLAM and/or anti-CD46 antibodies block virus binding, they do not interfere with the contact-mediated proliferation inhibition. In addition, the cell-type-specific expression of SLAM does not correlate with the sensitivity of cells for proliferation inhibition. The data indicate that proliferation inhibition induced by MV contact is independent of the presence or absence of the virus-binding receptors SLAM and CD46.

Abstract
CD46 (or membrane cofactor protein) protects autologous cells from complement-mediated lysis and has been expressed as a transgene in pigs to overcome complement-mediated hyperacute rejection of porcine organs upon transplantation into primates. Since CD46 has been identified as a receptor for measles virus (MV), the susceptibility of CD46-transgenic (tg) pig peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to infection with MV strains which do and do not use CD46 as receptor was investigated. Surprisingly, it was found that MV vaccine strains (e.g. Edmonston) bound to tg as well as non-tg pig PBMC. Phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated CD46-tg and non-tg pig PBMC were equally well infected with MV vaccine strains irrespective of CD46 expression. Upon infection, tg CD46 was downregulated from the cell surface. In contrast, the binding capacity for MV wild-type strains to pig and human PBMC was low, irrespective of CD46 expression. These MV strains did not infect tg or non-tg pig cells. Expression of endogenous pig CD46 was detected with polyclonal sera against human CD46. After infection of pig PBMC with MV strain Edmonston, endogenous pig CD46 was also downregulated. This suggests an interaction between MV Edmonston and pig CD46. However, polyclonal CD46 sera did not inhibit infection with MV Edmonston indicating that CD46 may not exclusively act as a receptor for MV on these cells. Interestingly, similar results were observed using human PBMC. Data suggest that CD46 downregulation after interaction with MV may also occur in porcine organs which express endogenous and/or human CD46 as a means of protection against complement-mediated damage.

Abstract
To define further the accessory role(s) of the CD46 (membrane cofactor protein) short consensus repeat (SCR) III and IV domains in the interaction of CD46 with measles virus (MV), chimeric proteins were generated by substituting domains from the structurally related protein decay accelerating factor (DAF, CD55): x3DAF (exchange of CD46 SCR III) and x4DAF (exchange of SCR IV). Transfected CHO cell lines that stably expressed these chimeric proteins were compared for MV binding and infection. Compared with wild-type CD46 (I-II-III-IV), a significant decrease in MV binding was observed with x4DAF. Despite this limited binding, these cells were still capable of supporting virus entry. In a quantitative fusion assay, no significant differences in fusion were observed as a result of the exchange of either CD46 SCR III or IV. However, the down-regulation of cell surface CD46 typically observed following MV infection was abolished with x4DAF, as was the redistribution of CD46 on the cell surface. Thus, CD46 SCR IV appears to be required for optimal virus binding and receptor down-regulation, although importantly, in spite of these functional limitations, x4DAF can still be used for MV entry.

Abstract
CD46 acts as a cellular receptor for vaccine strains of measles virus (MV). The MV/CD46 interaction-mediated by the MV attachment glycoprotein, the hemagglutinin (H)-not only facilitates infection but also induces CD46 downregulation. A conflict of opinion exists as to whether a single MVH binding site on CD46, or two separate sites, facilitates the two phenomena. To investigate this conundrum we first tested and compared a panel of CD46-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for their capacity to block both processes. One (mAb 13/42) abrogated both MV fusion and CD46 downregulation. Mutation of an amino acid (arg59 in the SCR1 of CD46) essential for the epitope of mAb 13/42 resulted in the abrogation of both CD46 downregulation and viral fusion. This strongly suggests that the same MV binding site on CD46 is responsible for both CD46 downregulation and MV infection.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) infections normally cause an acute self limiting disease which is resumed by a virus-specific immune response and leads to the establishment of a lifelong immunity. Complications associated with acute measles can, on rare occasions, involve the central nervous system (CNS). These are postinfectious measles encephalitis which develops soon after infection, and, months to years after the acute disease, measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE) and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) which are based on a persistent MV infection of brain cells. Before the advent of HIV, SSPE was the best studied slow viral infection of the CNS, and particular restrictions of MV gene expression as well as MV interactions with neural cells have revealed important insights into the pathogenesis of persistent viral CNS infections. MV CNS complication do, however, not large contribute to the high rate of mortality seen in association with acute measles worldwide. The latter is due to a virus-induced suppression of immune functions which favors the establishment of opportunistic infections. Mechanisms underlying MV-mediated immunosuppression are not well understood. Recent studies have indicated that MV-induced disruption of immune functions may be multifactorial including the interference with cytokine synthesis, the induction of soluble inhibitory factors or apoptosis and negative signalling to T cells by the viral glycoproteins expressed on the surface of infected cells, particularly dendritic cells.

Abstract
CD46, which serves as a receptor for measles virus (MV; strain Edmonston), is rapidly downregulated from the cell surface after contact with viral particles or infected cells. We show here that the same two CD46 complement control protein (CCP) domains responsible for primary MV attachment mediate its downregulation. Optimal downregulation efficiency was obtained with CD46 recombinants containing CCP domains 1 and 2, whereas CCP 1, alone and duplicated, induced a slight downregulation. Using persistently infected monocytic/promyelocytic U937 cells which release very small amounts of infectious virus, and uninfected HeLa cells as contact partners, we then showed that during contact the formation of CD46-containing patches and caps precedes CD46 internalization. Nevertheless, neither substances inhibiting capping nor the fusion-inhibiting peptide Z-D-Phe-L-Phe-Gly-OH (FIP) blocked CD46 downregulation. Thus, CD46 downregulation can be uncoupled from fusion and subsequent virus uptake. Interestingly, in that system cell-cell contacts lead to a remarkably efficient infection of the target cells which is only partially inhibited by FIP. The finding that the contact of an infected with uninfected cells results in transfer of infectious viral material without significant (complete) fusion of the donor with the recipient cell suggests that microfusion events and/or FIP-independent mechanisms may mediate the transfer of MV infectivity from cell to cell.

Abstract
Measles virus, the first pathogen recognized to cause immunosuppression, induces profound and prolonged abnormalities in cellular immune responses in infected hosts. The ability of measles virus to specifically ablate monocyte/macrophage and dendritic cell production of interleukin (IL)-12 provides a potentially unifying mechanism for many of these in vivo and in vitro abnormalities. Cross-linking of the cellular receptor for measles virus, the complement regulatory protein CD46, is sufficient to inhibit IL-12 production. CD46-mediated downregulation of IL-12 has turned out to be a specific instance of a more general pattern of tight inhibitory control over IL-12 production effected by complement and phagocytic receptors on antigen-presenting cells. Exploitation of these pathways by other intracellular pathogens is likely.

Abstract
Measles virus infection induces a profound immunosuppression that may lead to serious secondary infections and mortality. In this report, we show that the human cortical thymic epithelial cell line is highly susceptible to measles virus infection in vitro, resulting in infectious viral particle production and syncytium formation. Measles virus inhibits thymic epithelial cell growth and induces an arrest in the G0/G1 phases of the cell cycle. Moreover, we show that measles virus induces a progressive thymic epithelial cell differentiation process: attached measles virus-infected epithelial cells correspond to an intermediate state of differentiation while floating cells, recovered from cell culture supernatants, are fully differentiated. Measles virus-induced thymic epithelial cell differentiation is characterized by morphological and phenotypic changes. Measles virus-infected attached cells present fusiform and stellate shapes followed by a loss of cell-cell contacts and a shift from low- to high-molecular-weight keratin expression. Measles virus infection induces thymic epithelial cell apoptosis in terminally differentiated cells, revealed by the condensation and degradation of DNA in measles virus-infected floating thymic epithelial cells. Because thymic epithelial cells are required for the generation of immunocompetent T lymphocytes, our results suggest that measles virus-induced terminal differentiation of thymic epithelial cells may contribute to immunosuppression, particularly in children, in whom the thymic microenvironment is of critical importance for the development and maturation of a functional immune system.

Abstract
There is evidence that CD46 (membrane cofactor protein) is a cellular receptor for vaccine and laboratory-passaged strains of measles virus (MV). Following infection with these MV strains, CD46 is downregulated from the cell surface, and consequent complement-mediated lysis has been shown to occur upon infection of a human monocytic cell line. The MV hemagglutinin (H) protein alone is capable of inducing this downregulation. Some wild-type strains of MV fail to downregulate CD46, despite infection being prevented by anti-CD46 antibodies. In this study we show that CD46 is also downregulated to the same extent by wild-type, vaccine, and laboratory-passaged strains of rinderpest virus (RPV), although CD46 did not appear to be the receptor for RPV. Expression of the RPV H protein by a nonreplicating adenovirus vector was also found to cause this downregulation. A vaccine strain of peste des petits ruminants virus caused slight downregulation of CD46 in infected Vero cells, while wild-type and vaccine strains of canine distemper virus and a wild-type strain of dolphin morbillivirus failed to downregulate CD46. Downregulation of CD46 can, therefore, be a function independent of the use of this protein as a virus receptor.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the H protein gene of seven measles virus (MV) strains, representing three MV genotypes circulating in the UK in recent years, was determined. Compared to the MV vaccine strain Moraten (Mor-v), the divergence of the coded H gene (aal-600) of the seven UK strains was between 1.8% and 2.8%. Representative isolates from each of the genotypes were tested by radio-immunoprecipitation using a panel of H protein-specific MAbs. Different patterns of MAb reactivity were shown between the three genotypes and between the wild-type strains and the vaccine strain. Plaque reduction neutralising antibody titres against strains UK350/94 (genotype I) and UK226/94 (genotype III) were measured in sera from 11 vaccinees. Vaccine derived antibody neutralised both strains and the GMTs were not significantly lower against the wild-type strains than against strain Mor-v.

Abstract
This paper provides evidence for a measles virus receptor other than CD46 on transformed marmoset and human B cells. We first showed that most tissues of marmosets are missing the SCR1 domain of CD46, which is essential for the binding of Edmonston measles virus, a laboratory strain that has been propagated in Vero monkey kidney cells. In spite of this deletion, the common marmoset was shown to be susceptible to infections by wild-type isolates of measles virus, although they did not support Edmonston measles virus production. As one would expect from these results, measles virus could not be propagated in owl monkey or marmoset kidney cell lines, but surprisingly, both a wild-type isolate (Montefiore 89) and the Edmonston laboratory strain of measles virus grew efficiently in B95-8 marmoset B cells. In addition, antibodies directed against CD46 had no effect on wild-type infections of marmoset B cells and only partially inhibited the replication of the Edmonston laboratory strain in the same cells. A direct binding assay with insect cells expressing the hemagglutinin (H) proteins of either the Edmonston or Montefiore 89 measles virus strains was used to probe the receptors on these B cells. Insect cells expressing Edmonston H but not the wild-type H bound to rodent cells with CD46 on their surface. On the other hand, both the Montefiore 89 H and Edmonston H proteins adhered to marmoset and human B cells. Most wild-type H proteins have asparagine residues at position 481 and can be converted to a CD46-binding phenotype by replacement of the residue with tyrosine. Similarly, the Edmonston H protein did not bind CD46 when its Tyr481 was converted to asparagine. However, this mutation did not affect the ability of Edmonston H to bind marmoset and human B cells. The preceding results provide evidence, through the use of a direct binding assay, that a second receptor for measles virus is present on primate B cells.

Abstract
The existence of specific rabies virus (RV) glycoprotein (G) binding sites on the surfaces of neuroblastoma cells is demonstrated. Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf21) cells expressing G of the RV strain CVS (Gcvs-Sf21 cells) bind specifically to neuroblastoma cells of different species but not to any other cell type (fibroblast, myoblast, epithelial, or glioma). Attachment to mouse neuroblastoma NG108-15 cells is abolished by previous treatment of Gcvs-Sf2 cells with anti-G antibody. Substitutions for lysine at position 330 and for arginine at position 333 in RV G greatly reduce interaction between Gcvs-Sf21 cells and NG108-15 cells. These data are consistent with in vivo results: an avirulent RV mutant bearing the same double mutation is not able to infect sensory neurons or motoneurons (P. Coulon, J.-P. Ternaux, A. Flamand, and C. Tuffereau, J. Virol. 72:273-278, 1998) after intramuscular inoculation into a mouse. Furthermore, infection of NG108-15 cells by RV but not by vesicular stomatitis virus leads to a reduction of the number of binding sites at the neuronal-cell surface. Our data strongly suggest that these specific attachment sites on neuroblastoma cells represent a neuronal receptor(s) used by RV to infect certain types of neurons in vivo.

Abstract
The involvement of moesin in measles virus (MV) entry was investigated with moesin-positive and -negative mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. MV infection of these cells was very ineffective and was independent of moesin expression. Furthermore, when these cells were transfected to express human CD46, a 100-fold increase in syncytium formation was observed with these cells and was independent of the expression of moesin. The only obvious difference between moesin-positive and -negative ES cells was the shape of the syncytia formed. Moesin-negative ES cells expressing or not expressing human CD46 formed separate pieces of fragmented syncytia which were torn apart during spreading, whereas ES cells expressing moesin exhibited typical syncytia. In addition, moesin was not detected on the surface of any murine cells or cell lines that we have tested by a flow cytometric assay with moesin-specific antibodies. These findings indicate that murine moesin is neither a receptor nor a CD46 coreceptor for MV entry into mouse ES cells. Moesin is involved in actin filament-plasma membrane interactions as a cross-linker, and it affects only the spreading and shape of MV-mediated syncytia.

Abstract
In murine 17 Cl 1 cells persistently infected with murine coronavirus mouse hepatitis virus strain A59 (MHV-A59), expression of the virus receptor glycoprotein MHVR was markedly reduced (S. G. Sawicki, J. H. Lu, and K. V. Holmes, J. Virol. 69:5535-5543, 1995). Virus isolated from passage 600 of the persistently infected cells made smaller plaques on 17 Cl 1 cells than did MHV-A59. Unlike the parental MHV-A59, this variant virus also infected the BHK-21 (BHK) line of hamster cells. Virus plaque purified on BHK cells (MHV/BHK) grew more slowly in murine cells than did MHV-A59, and the rate of viral RNA synthesis was lower and the development of the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein was slower than those of MHV-A59. MHV/BHK was 100-fold more resistant to neutralization with the purified soluble recombinant MHV receptor glycoprotein (sMHVR) than was MHV-A59. Pretreatment of 17 Cl 1 cells with anti-MHVR monoclonal antibody CC1 protected the cells from infection with MHV-A59 but only partially protected them from infection with MHV/BHK. Thus, although MHV/BHK could still utilize MHVR as a receptor, its interactions with the receptor were significantly different from those of MHV-A59. To determine whether a hemagglutinin esterase (HE) glycoprotein that could bind the virions to 9-O-acetylated neuraminic acid moieties on the cell surface was expressed by MHV/BHK, an in situ esterase assay was used. No expression of HE activity was detected in 17 Cl 1 cells infected with MHV/BHK, suggesting that this virus, like MHV-A59, bound to cell membranes via its S glycoprotein. MHV/BHK was able to infect cell lines from many mammalian species, including murine (17 Cl 1), hamster (BHK), feline (Fcwf), bovine (MDBK), rat (RIE), monkey (Vero), and human (L132 and HeLa) cell lines. MHV/BHK could not infect dog kidney (MDCK I) or swine testis (ST) cell lines. Thus, in persistently infected murine cell lines that express very low levels of virus receptor MHVR and which also have and may express alternative virus receptors of lesser efficiency, there is a strong selective advantage for virus with altered interactions with receptor (D. S. Chen, M. Asanaka, F. S. Chen, J. E. Shively, and M. M. C. Lai, J. Virol. 71:1688-1691, 1997; D. S. Chen, M. Asanaka, K. Yokomori, F.-I. Wang, S. B. Hwang, H.-P. Li, and M. M. C. Lai, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92:12095-12099, 1995; P. Nedellec, G. S. Dveksler, E. Daniels, C. Turbide, B. Chow, A. A. Basile, K. V. Holmes, and N. Beauchemin, J. Virol. 68:4525-4537, 1994). Possibly, in coronavirus-infected animals, replication of the virus in tissues that express low levels of receptor might also select viruses with altered receptor recognition and extended host range.

Abstract
The study of measles pathogenesis and the testing of improved vaccine candidates is hampered by the lack of a small animal model which is susceptible to infection by the intranasal route. With the identification of CD46 as a measles virus (MV) receptor, it was feasible to generate transgenic rats to overcome this problem. Although there was widespread expression of CD46 in the transgenic Sprague-Dawley rats, no measles-like disease could be induced after various routes of infection. The expressed transgenic protein was functionally intact since it mediated MV fusion and was downregulated by contact with MV hemagglutinin. In vitro studies revealed that CD46-expressing rat fibroblasts take up MV but do not allow viral replication, which explains the nonpermissiveness of the transgenic rats for in vivo infection.

Abstract
CD46 was previously shown to be a primate-specific receptor for the Edmonston strain of measles virus. This receptor consists of four short consensus regions (SCR1 to SCR4) which normally function in complement regulation. Measles virus has recently been shown to interact with SCR1 and SCR2. In this study, receptors on different types of monkey erythrocytes were employed as "natural mutant proteins" to further define the virus binding regions of CD46. Erythrocytes from African green monkeys and rhesus macaques hemagglutinate in the presence of measles virus, while baboon erythrocytes were the least efficient of the Old World monkey cells used in these assays. Subsequent studies demonstrated that the SCR2 domain of baboon CD46 contained an Arg-to-Gln mutation at amino acid position 103 which accounted for reduced hemagglutination activity. Surprisingly, none of the New World monkey erythrocytes hemagglutinated in the presence of virus. Sequencing of cDNAs derived from the lymphocytes of these New World monkeys and analysis of their erythrocytes with SCR1-specific polyclonal antibodies indicated that the SCR1 domain was deleted in these cells. Additional experiments, which used 35 different site-specific mutations inserted into CD46, were performed to complement the preceding studies. The effects of these artificial mutations were documented with a convenient binding assay using insect cells expressing the measles virus hemagglutinin. Mutations which mimicked the change found in baboon CD46 or another which deleted the SCR2 glycosylation site reduced binding substantially. Another mutation which altered GluArg to AlaAla at positions 58 and 59, totally abolished binding. Finally, the epitopes for two monoclonal antibodies which inhibit measles virus attachment were mapped to the same regions implicated by mutagenesis.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) enters cells by attachment of the viral hemagglutinin to the major cell surface receptor CD46 (membrane cofactor protein). CD46 is a transmembrane glycoprotein whose ectodomain is largely composed of four conserved modules called short consensus repeats (SCRs). We have previously shown that MV interacts with SCR1 and SCR2 of CD46. (M. Manchester et al. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92, 2303-2307) Here we report mapping the MV interaction with SCR1 and SCR2 of CD46 using a combination of peptide inhibition and mutagenesis studies. By testing a series of overlapping peptides corresponding to the 126 amino acid SCR1-2 region for inhibition of MV infection, two domains were identified that interacted with MV. One domain was found within SCR1 (amino acids 37-56) and another within SCR2 (amino acids 85-104). These results were confirmed by constructing chimeras with complementary regions from structurally similar, but non-MV-binding, SCRs of decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55). These results indicate that MV contacts at least two distinct sites within SCR1-2.

Abstract
The gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus) is the causative agent of a wide variety of suppurative infections of cutaneous tissues. Previous analyses have demonstrated that the M protein of S. pyogenes is an adhesin that directs the attachment of the streptococcus to keratinocytes in the skin. In this study, we have examined keratinocyte function in response to S. pyogenes and found that adherent versus nonadherent streptococci promote distinct patterns of expression of several proinflammatory molecules and keratinocyte cell fate. When analyzed by a quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR method, infection of cultured HaCaT keratinocytes with adherent, but not nonadherent, streptococci resulted in increased expression of mRNA for the cytokines interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-1beta, and IL-8 but neither infection induced expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha. In contrast, both adherent and nonadherent S. pyogenes induced expression of IL-6 and each promoted synthesis and release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). However, considerably greater levels of IL-6 expression were stimulated by adherent streptococci relative to nonadherent streptococci and the kinetics of PGE2 release in response to nonadherent streptococci was delayed compared to the response to adherent streptococci. Staining with the fluorescent probe ethidium homodimer-1 revealed that keratinocyte membranes were rapidly damaged upon infection with adherent streptococci but were not damaged by nonadherent streptococci. Finally, treatments which inhibited streptococcal metabolism completely blocked the ability of adherent streptococci to elicit responses. These data suggest that expression of an adhesin is a strategy used by S. pyogenes to modulate keratinocyte responses during infection of the skin and implicate additional streptococcal products in these signaling interactions.

Abstract
As well as inducing a protective immune response against reinfection, acute measles is associated with a marked suppression of immune functions against superinfecting agents and recall antigens, and this association is the major cause of the current high morbidity and mortality rate associated with measles virus (MV) infections. Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells crucially involved in the initiation of primary and secondary immune responses, so we set out to define the interaction of MV with these cells. We found that both mature and precursor human DCs generated from peripheral blood monocytic cells express the major MV protein receptor CD46 and are highly susceptible to infection with both MV vaccine (ED) and wild-type (WTF) strains, albeit with different kinetics. Except for the down-regulation of CD46, the expression pattern of functionally important surface antigens on mature DCs was not markedly altered after MV infection. However, precursor DCs up-regulated HLA-DR, CD83, and CD86 within 24 h of WTF infection and 72 h after ED infection, indicating their functional maturation. In addition, interleukin 12 synthesis was markedly enhanced after both ED and WTF infection in DCs. On the other hand, MV-infected DCs strongly interfered with mitogen-dependent proliferation of freshly isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro. These data indicate that the differentiation of effector functions of DCs is not impaired but rather is stimulated by MV infection. Yet, mature, activated DCs expressing MV surface antigens do give a negative signal to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation and thus contribute to MV-induced immunosuppression.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the Edmonston strain of measles virus enters and is released preferentially at the apical surfaces of polarized epithelial cells. Small amounts of virus were found to be released at the basal surface. In the present study, we passaged the virus in polarized cells and characterized the passaged virus for its pattern of entry and release in epithelial cells as well as the ability to downregulate the receptor CD46. In contrast to the original stock virus, the passaged virus was found to be released at close to the same levels from both the apical and the basal surfaces. Accumulation of viral nucleocapsids and virus budding were observed at both membrane surfaces when cells were infected with the passaged virus. The passaged virus was also found to enter efficiently at the basal surface, unlike the original stock virus. Syncytial formation was observed at earlier times postinfection in cells infected with the passaged virus compared to cells infected with the stock virus. On Caco-2 cells, CD46 is found on both surfaces but is preferentially expressed on the apical membrane. The original Edmonston stock and two other wild-type strains, Chicago and Davis, were found to downregulate CD46 levels on the apical but not on the basolateral membrane of Caco-2 cells, while the passaged Edmonston measles virus did not downregulate CD46 on either surface. These data indicate that passage of measles virus through polarized epithelial cells results in selection of virus which exhibits a bidirectional pattern of entry and release through both the apical and the basolateral surface and which no longer downregulates CD46 expression on the cell surface.

Abstract
To investigate the sequence requirements for measles virus (MV)-induced receptor down regulation, we transfected the human CD46 gene into simian cells persistently infected by the Biken strain of MV. Surface expression of CD46 is drastically reduced in these cells. Deletion analysis has shown that the juxtamembrane region of the CD46 cytoplasmic domain is essential for down regulation. Deleting a Tyr-Arg-Tyr-Leu sequence in this region or changing these residues to Ala prevents CD46 down regulation from the infected cell surface. Alanine-scanning mutagenesis has identified two amino acid residues, Tyr and Leu, forming a Tyr-X-X-Leu motif critical for CD46 down regulation. Mutations that prevent CD46 down regulation enhance syncytium formation. These results indicate that CD46 down regulation limits the cytopathic effects in a persistent MV infection and that CD46 down regulation requires a cytoplasmic Tyr-X-X-Leu sequence which resembles known motifs for membrane protein trafficking and receptor signalling.

Abstract
Monkey cells persistently infected by measles virus (MV) Biken strain (Biken-CV-1 cells) showed no cytopathic effects and lacked surface expression of a homolog of human cell receptor, membrane cofactor protein CD46. Transfection of a human CD46 gene into these cells induced extensive cell fusion, indicating that down regulation of the endogenous CD46 homolog was essential for the maintenance of a noncytopathic mode of infection. Surface expression of the exogenously introduced human CD46 was also drastically down regulated in the persistently infected cells compared with uninfected cells. The down regulation was specific for CD46 and did not affect surface expression of exogenously introduced CD4. Exogenous human CD46 was synthesized efficiently in the persistently infected cells, but it did not accumulate on the cell surface. Fusion of Biken-CV-1 cells required the extracellular hemagglutinin (H-protein)-binding domain but not the cytoplasmic domain. Replacing the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of CD46 with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor did not prevent cell fusion but completely alleviated down regulation of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored CD46 in Biken-CV-1 cells. Deletion analyses revealed that the membrane-distal sequences of the CD46 cytoplasmic domain were not only unnecessary but also inhibitory for CD46 down regulation. By contrast, the six amino acid residues proximal to the membrane contained a sequence required for CD46 down regulation in the persistently infected cells. These results indicate that CD46 is down regulated in the persistently infected cells by a mechanism that recognizes a membrane-proximal sequence in the CD46 cytoplasmic domain.
