A rapid transfer of virions coated with heparan sulfate from the ECM to CD151 defines an early step in the human papillomavirus infection cascade
Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the underlying cause of several types of cancer; albeit, they are mostly known for their association with cervical carcinoma. The virions reach their target cells through a break in the epithelial barrier. After binding to heparan sulfate (HS) of the extracellular matrix (ECM), they are recruited via actin-dependent mechanis
