HIV has an adhesion molecule termed hemagglutinin that binds to its ligand CD4. Correct Answer FALSE

Viruses have molecules aiding in adhesion of viral cells to the host cells. The influenza virus has adhesion molecules termed hemagglutinin on its surface; it helps in the recognition of sugar sialic acid molecules on the molecules on the host cell surface. HIV has an adhesion molecule called gp120 that binds to the CD4 ligand.
