Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus uses LDLR to bind and enter host cells
28 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Climate change and population densities accelerated transmission of highly pathogenic viruses to humans, including the Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). Here we report that the Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) is a critical receptor for CCHFV cell entry, playing a vital role in CCHFV infection in cell culture and blood vessel organoids. The interaction between CCHFV and LDLR is highly...
