Receptor adaptation may attenuate FMDV; leaves open integrin-targeted strategies for livestock control.
Virulent foot-and-mouth disease virus uses the integrin alpha(v)beta3 as its primary receptor, while cell culture adaptation shifts receptor usage to heparan sulfate, reducing virulence.
Neff et al. (1998) studied this question.
