Remains preclinical in rodent models; leaves open whether IG1 mutagenesis can selectively block adenovirus without affecting coxsackievirus in humans.
The study demonstrates that adenovirus and coxsackievirus B bind to distinct, non-overlapping regions of their shared cellular receptor.
Tomko et al. (2000) studied this question. Site-directed mutagenesis of the IG1 region was evaluated on Ad5 binding and CVB attachment. Site-directed mutagenesis of the IG1 region completely inhibited Ad5 binding without affecting CVB attachment, indicating their molecular interactions with the receptor do not overlap.
