EphrinB2 is the entry receptor for Nipah virus, an emergent deadly paramyxovirus

Article Abstract:

A report revealing that ephrinB2, the membrane-bound ligand for the EphB class of receptor tyrosine kinases, specifically binds to the attachment glycoprotein of Nipah virus (NiV) is presented. Findings state that NiV-enveloped-mediated infection of microvascular endothelial cells and primary cortical rat neurons is inhibited by soluble ephrinB2, but not by the related ephrinB1 protein.
