Abstract excerpt
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a pig pathogen that causes substantial economic losses to the pig industry. Infection of host cells by PRV is mediated by the membrane proteins nectin1 and nectin2, which are presumed to be receptors for PRV infection. Here, we generated nectin1/2 knockout (KO) cells with the aim of establishing a PRV-resistant cell model. Nectin1 and 2 were ablated in PK15 cells by...
