Abstract
The present two volumes on virus receptors have attempted to relate the general principles involved in virus—receptor recognition in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells emphasizing the diversity of both bacterial and animal virus receptor structures. During the last decades viruses have been studied as simple models for gene expression and progress has been very rapid. In contrast, our understanding of the molecular biology and genetics of virus receptors of host cells has lagged. In many cases virus attachment proteins (VAP) have been identified and characterized, while little is known of the cellular receptor units (CRU). The recently introduced recombinant DNA technology may eventually help reduce this lag.
