Specific ligand-receptor interactions result in activation of signaling pathways; thus, we selected fusion peptides belonging to each of the known viral classes of fusion glycoproteins in order to verify whether during the interaction with the cell surface, they were sufficient to induce phosphorylation of PKC, Src, Akt, and MAPK pathways, activation of nuclear factor (AP-1 and NF-B), and cytokine release (IL-10 and IFN-␤ ). To selectively analyze the regulation of virus-induced AP-1 and NF-B activation, an ELISA-based Trans-Am technology from nuclear lysates of U937 cells stimulated by viral fusion peptides was performed. ./cache/cord-269462-7yozebv2.txt ./txt/cord-269462-7yozebv2.txt
