Influenza viruses bind to annexin V, a widely spread non-glycosylated phospholipid-binding protein. Externally added phospholipids as well as antiserum against this protein specifically inhibit infection of these viruses in cell cultures. We conclude that annexin V plays an important role in the entry of these viruses.
