Those viruses for which specific receptors have been identified are marked with footnotes; attachment or infection by these viruses has been demonstrated to depend on expression of the indicated receptors. Based on more limited experimental evidence, putative receptors can be assigned for several other serotypes, as discussed in the text.

b

CAR.

c

CD46.

d

SA.

e

CD80/86.

f

Heparan sulfate.
