This result strongly indicated that overexpressed recombinant sELR1 was able to inhibit EIAV infection in vitro, probably by competing with the membrane-associated receptor for the binding of virions on target cells. Thus, the soluble form of ELR1, tagged with HA, was overexpressed in FED cells, a major target of EIAV in vitro, by transfection with the sELR1 expression vector pcDNA3.1-ELR1-IN. The regulated expression levels of both the soluble and membrane-associated forms of ELR1 by EIAV reveal the possible role of sELR1 in the interaction between virus and host. ./cache/cord-001123-n2e4s7bu.txt ./txt/cord-001123-n2e4s7bu.txt
