Borna Disease Virus Requires Cholesterol in both Cellular Membrane and Viral Envelope for Efficient Cell Entry
8 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Borna disease virus (BDV), the prototypic member of the family Bornaviridae within the order Mononegavirales, provides an important model for the investigation of viral persistence within the central nervous system (CNS) and of associated brain disorders. BDV is highly neurotropic and enters its target cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis, a process mediated by the virus surface glycoprotein (G), but the...
