Amino acid variation at VP1-145 of enterovirus A71 determines the viral infectivity and receptor usage in a primary human intestinal model
17 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) can elicit a wide variety of human diseases such as hand, foot, and mouth disease and severe or fatal neurological complications. It is not clearly understood what determines the virulence and fitness of EV-A71. It has been observed that amino acid changes in the receptor binding protein, VP1, resulting in viral binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) may be important for the...
