摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a method of altering (reducing or enhancing) membrane fusion events in a wide variety of contexts, including infection of cells by organisms (such as pathogens including viruses and particularly influenza virus), cell-cell interactions or fusions (such as cell signalling and sperm-ovum union) and intercellular membrane fusion events. It further relates to agents useful in the method of altering membrane fusion events and to a method of identifying or designing agents which alter membrane fusion events.</p> |
