title: Echovirus 1 interaction with the isolated VLA-2 I domain.
abstract: The isolated I domain of the integrin VLA-2, produced as a bacterial fusion protein, specifically bound echovirus 1 and prevented virus attachment to cells. These results demonstrate that the receptor structures critical for virus attachment are contained solely within the VLA-2 I domain and that soluble receptor fragments are capable of preventing infection.
