The Molecular Basis of Serotype 1 Reovirus Glycan Interactions and the Function of Glycan-Binding in Pathogenesis

Virus-receptor interactions govern the susceptibility of cells to infection and dictate viral tropism in the host. Mammalian reoviruses display serotype-specific neurotropism in newborn mice, with serotype 1 (T1) strains causing hydrocephalus and serotype 3 (T3) strains causing encephalitis. However...
