Persistent Infection of Human Oligodendrocytic and Neuroglial Cell Lines by Human Coronavirus 229E
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Human coronaviruses (HuCV) cause common colds. Previous reports suggest that these infectious agents may be neurotropic in humans, as they are for some mammals. With the long-term aim of providing experimental evidence for the neurotropism of HuCV and the establishment of persistent infections in the nervous system, we have evaluated the susceptibility of various human neural cell lines to acute and persistent...
