The predicted amino acid sequence of human complement receptor 2 (CR2, CD21, C3d,
g/Epstein-Barr virus receptor) and its genetic murine homologue are approximately 70%
identical. The sequence of each consists of a linear array of 60-70 amino acid repeats
designated short consensus repeats (SCRs). Although they share significant sequence
identity, a major difference in the activities of these two proteins has been believed to be the
ability of human, but not mouse, CR2 to mediate Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection of B …
