Enterovirus D68 VP1 and VP3 determine neurotropism in human spinal cord organoids

Jessica E. Packard, Jennifer E. Jones, Gal Yovel, Megan Culler Freeman

The paper investigates how mutations in EV-D68's VP1 and VP3 proteins affect neurotropism in human spinal cord organoids and links these findings to reduced neurovirulence observed after 2018.

Recombinant B3 clade enterovirus D68 strains are efficiently rescued in 293T cells and infect human spinal cord organoids.

Jennifer E. Jones, Sarah Maya, Gal Yovel…·Megan Culler Freeman

This study develops a method to rescue B3 clade EV-D68 strains and shows they replicate more efficiently in spinal cord organoids than a neurovirulent B2 clade strain.
