Functional characterization of DPP4 and FcRn as receptor and coreceptor for classical human astroviruses in Caco-2 cells. by Catalina Aguilera-Flores, María Del Pilar Valencia-Morales, Tomás López, Joaquín Moreno-Contreras, Adam Lentz, Marco A Espinoza, Rebecca M DuBois, Susana López, Carlos F Arias

“…Further experiments using virus infectivity and attachment assays, along with Nt-MAbs targeting HAstV-1, suggest that the binding sites for FcRn and DPP4 are spatially proximal on the viral spike, defining a functional domain for cell infection. Notably, the infectivity of the divergent HAstV-VA1 was independent of these two proteins, highlighting the receptor variability across HAstV clades. …”
