Electrostatic interactions at the five-fold axis alter heparin-binding phenotype and drive EV-A71 virulence in mice
2019-05-23
Abstract excerpt
Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) causes hand, foot and mouth disease epidemics with neurological complications and fatalities. However, the neuropathogenesis of EV-A71 remains poorly understood. In mice, adaptation and virulence determinants have been mapped to mutations at VP1-145, VP1-244 and VP2-149. We hypothesized that heparin-binding phenotype shapes EV-A71 virulence in mice. We constructed six viruses with varying...
