Clathrin-Mediated Entry of GCRV104
2026-09-04
Wang et al. used pharmacological inhibitors, transmission electron microscopy, and real-time quantitative PCR to show that genotype III grass carp reovirus GCRV104 enters CIK cells through a dynamin-dependent, acidified clathrin-mediated endocytic route. Rottlerin and wortmannin also reduced entry and replication, identifying PKC- and PI3K-sensitive steps while highlighting the need for careful interpretation of inhibitor specificity.
