| Research Abstract |
Poliovirus dissemination routes were investigated by using mouse capillary endothelial cells and mouse in vitro BBB model. Main interests were i) PV permeation mechanism through blood brain barrier (BBB), and ii) development of drug delivery system through BBB. Our data confirm that PV utilizes transferrin receptor to invade the central nervous system, and suggest that other host molecule might be involved in the BBB permeation. Moreover, our data indicates peptide regions on transferrin receptor and PV involved in the binding.
