Viral entry represents the first step of every viral infection and is a determinant for the host range and disease potential of a virus. Here, we review the latest developments on cell entry of the highly pathogenic Old World arenavirus Lassa virus, providing novel insights into the complex virus-host cell interaction of this important human pathogen. We will cover new discoveries on the molecular mechanisms of receptor recognition, endocytosis, and the use of late endosomal entry factors.
病毒进入是每次病毒感染的第一步,也是决定病毒宿主范围和致病潜力的因素。在此,我们综述了高致病性旧大陆沙粒病毒拉沙病毒进入细胞的最新进展,为这种重要人类病原体复杂的病毒-宿主细胞相互作用提供了新见解。我们将介绍受体识别、内吞作用以及晚期内体进入因子利用的分子机制方面的新发现。
