A canine distemper virus (CDV) strain, CYN07-dV, associated with a lethal outbreak in monkeys, used human signaling lymphocyte activation molecule as a receptor only poorly but readily adapted to use it following a P541S substitution in the hemagglutinin protein. Since CYN07-dV had an intrinsic ability to use human nectin-4, the adapted virus became able to use both human immune and epithelial cell receptors, as well as monkey and canine ones, suggesting that CDV can potentially infect humans.
一株与猴致死性暴发相关的犬瘟热病毒(CDV)株 CYN07-dV,仅能微弱地使用人类信号淋巴细胞激活分子作为受体,但在血凝蛋白 P541S 取代后很容易适应使用该受体。由于 CYN07-dV 具有内在的使用人类 nectin-4 的能力,适应后的病毒能够使用人类免疫和上皮细胞受体,以及猴和犬的受体,表明 CDV 可能具有感染人类的潜力。
