Project description:Enterovirus 71 (EV71) belongs to human enterovirus species A of the genus Enterovirus within the family Picornaviridae. We established transformant cells by transfection of mouse cells with genomic DNA from human cells and then detected two EV71-susceptible cell lines. Using microarray with the two cell lines we found that scavenger receptor B2 is a cellular receptor for EV71.
Project description:Ribosome profiling of enterovirus infected cells was used to investigate expression of the virus polyprotein and upstream open reading frames. Samples were either pretreated with initiation inhibitor lactimidomycin (LTM) to cause ribosomes to accumulate at initiation sites, or were flash frozen with no drug pretreatment (NT) to capture elongating ribosomes.
