His current area of research at UCSD is in murine leukemia virus receptors.
2.
The homologous protein in other species has been described as a differentiation antigen and influenza-virus receptor.
3.
Researchers isolated the human gene coding for the polio virus receptor, making it possible to transplant the human gene to mice.
4.
CD21 ( also called C3d receptor, CR2, Epstein Barr virus receptor or EBV-R ) is the receptor for EBV and for C3d, C3dg and iC3b.
5.
A system has been established in which mice with the human polio virus receptor introduced ( polio mice ) replace monkeys, which are closest to humans, used in neurovirulence testing of live polio vaccine ( Replacement ).
