Newcastle disease virus selectively infects dividing cells and promotes viral proliferation

Abstract excerpt

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) can select cells to infect, but the mechanism of its cell selectivity has not been comprehensively investigated. Here, we use HeLa cells to establish that NDV can selectively infect cells at the single-cell level. We labeled proliferating cells with 5'-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and examined the colocalization of BrdU with NDV in cells to clarify the relationships between NDV...
