Abstract
⺠Filovirus glycoprotein (GP) having a deficient receptor binding region were generated. ⺠Mutant GPs mediated virus entry less efficiently than wild-type GP. ⺠Mutant GPs bound to C-type lectins but not mediated entire steps of cellular entry. ⺠C-type lectins do not independently mediate filovirus entry into cells. ⺠Other molecule(s) are required for C-type lectin-mediated entry of filoviruses.
