Sentence examples for bind to host cells from inspiring English sources

S. pneumoniae expresses a 75-kDa surface protein, Choline- binding protein A (CbpA) which has been shown to bind to host cells via secreted complement component C3 [ 20- 22].

Indeed, several PAN domain-containing microneme proteins have been identified [35], [94]–[97], and TgMIC4 has been shown to bind to host cells [35].

The OMVs from E. coli and P. aeruginosa bind to host cells via lipid rafts, after which bacterial effector molecules are translocated into the cytosolic compartment [20], [23].

This finding suggests that FN is not the only bacterial adhesion ligand contributing to the MAP ability to bind to host cells.

There are two cell-binding regions identified in this protein; peptides (11435 and 11438) from these regions specifically bind to host cells and inhibit EBV invasion of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) (Urquiza et al. 2004).

There was no correlation between isolate ability to bind to host cells and serotype, although other studies have shown a relationship between pathogenicity and serotype [ 32] and invasiveness and serotype [ 33].

During IAV infection, the viral hemagglutinin (HA) proteins bind to host cell receptors.

Both HA and NA bind to host cell receptors containing sialic acid residues: HA to initiate viral entry into the host cell, and NA to permit the release of viral progeny from infected cells.

Recently, Kale and colleagues [ 11] have shown that fungal effectors contain functional variants of RXLR motifs, and that the oomycete and fungal RXLR and dEER motifs bind to host cell surface phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate.

Studies of individual Incs have shown that these peptides protrude from the surface of the inclusion and may mimic or bind to host cell proteins that selectively manicure the surface of the inclusion to avoid fusion with phagosomes or the host cell exocytic pathway [ 38, 52, 53].
