Hemagglutinating and fusogenic activities of Newcastle disease virus: studies on receptor binding specificity and pH-induced conformational changes

Vaccinal and wild strains of Newcastle Disease virus (NDV) were analyzed for cell receptor binding and fusogenic biological properties associated with their HN (hemagglutinin-neuraminidase) and F (fusion protein) surface structures respectively. The evaluation of the biological activities of HN and...
