Sentence examples for binding to a host from inspiring English sources

We note here that infection by an exogenous retrovirus involves binding to a host cell receptor.

CCR5 antagonists inhibit virus entry by binding to a host cell protein, the CCR5 receptor, and inducing an allosteric change which renders the molecule unrecognizable to wild type R5 HIV.
