Beginning in the late 1970's with experiments done by Irv Weissman at
Stanford, people have used directly fluoresceinated or otherwise covalently
labeled virus to study binding to cells. In the early 1980's Ken Rosenthal
and I also showed that at least some viruses cause membrane potential
changes on binding to cell surface receptors, and one presumably might also
follow calcium changes for such viruses as well.
