A Polymorphism within the Internal Fusion Loop of the Ebola Virus Glycoprotein Modulates Host Cell Entry.

TL;DR: It is found that position 544 is an important determinant of EBOV infectivity for both NHP and certain human target cells, and an amino acid exchange that was acquired during the epidemic and that was not observed in previously circulating viruses, increases viral entry into diverse target cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Completion of Hepatitis C Virus Replication Cycle in Heterokaryons Excludes Dominant Restrictions in Human Non-liver and Mouse Liver Cell Lines

TL;DR: These data strongly advocate transgenic approaches of crucial human HCV cofactors to establish an immunocompetent small animal model and exclude that constitutive or virus-induced expression of dominant restriction factors prevents propagation of HCV in these cell types, which has important implications for HCV tissue and species tropism.
