This study identifies transferrin receptor 1 as the receptor for human parvovirus B19 VP1u, demonstrating its role in virus entry through direct binding and uptake inhibition.

This study identifies the cellular receptors and factors that determine parvovirus B19 infection in human placental trophoblasts, showing that VP1uR, globoside, and proliferative activity are key, while EpoR signaling is not required.

This study identifies globoside as an essential receptor for parvovirus B19 endosomal escape, challenging the existing model of membrane disruption by PLA2 activity.
