RSV Infects the Human Nasal Epithelium via the Basolateral Route with Distinct Subgroup Infectivity and Basal Cell Tropism

Ashley M. Murray, Divya Nagaraj, Emily M. Schultz, Gina Marie Aloisio, Erin G. Nicholson, Sarah Elizabeth Blutt, Vasanthi Avadhanula, Felipe-Andrés Piedra

This study shows RSV can infect respiratory epithelium via the basolateral route, targeting basal cells, with RSV/B/BA showing higher basolateral infectivity than RSV/A/ON.
