Selective expresssion of one specific isoform of the coxsackie adenovirus receptor (CAR) in the human pancreatic beta cells

Ifie Eseoghene , Russell Mark A , Sebastiani Guido , Dotta Francesco , Marjomaki Varpu , Morgan Noel G , Richardson Sarah J

Aims and Objective: A transmembrane cell-adhesion protein, the Coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR) serves as an entry receptor for enteroviruses and may be essential for their ability to infect cells. Since beta-cell enteroviral infection could contribute to the development of Type 1 diabetes, it is important that CAR expression is analysed in the human pancreas. CAR exists as at least 5 isoforms and we have studied the expression of these dif...
