Receptors for BK virus on human erythrocytes.
The chemical nature of BK virus receptors on human erythrocytes was investigated. Glycosidases, KIO4, proteases, phospholipases and other substances acting specifically on different structures of plasma membranes were used to ascertain the role of surface cell components in the interaction with BK virus. The results obtained indicate an analogy between BK virus receptors on red cells and non-antibody serum inhibitors active against haemagglutination by the same virus.
