Dual Stem Loops within the Poliovirus Internal Ribosomal Entry Site Control Neurovirulence
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
In the human central nervous system, susceptibility to poliovirus (PV) infection is largely confined to a specific subpopulation of neuronal cells. PV tropism is likely to be determined by cell-external components such as the PV receptor CD155, as well as cell-internal constraints such as the availability of a suitable microenvironment for virus propagation. We reported previously that the exchange of the cognate...
