Genetic and Functional Dissection of the Role of Individual 5-HT2 Receptors as Entry Receptors for JC Polyomavirus
1 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The entry receptors for JCPyV belong to the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 receptor (5-HT 2 R) family, but how individual members of the family function to facilitate infection is not known. We used proximity ligation assay (PLA) to determine that JCPyV interacts with each of the 5-HT 2 receptors (5-HT 2...
