Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Utilizes Nanotubes for Intercellular Spread
17 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Intercellular nanotube connections have been identified as an alternative pathway for cellular spreading of certain viruses. In cells infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), nanotubes were observed connecting two distant cells with contiguous membranes, with the core infectious viral machinery (viral RNA, certain replicases, and certain structural proteins) present...
