Poliovirus particles can directly interact with lipid membranes to form ion-permeable channels, suggesting viral entry may be mediated by direct interaction of viral surface proteins with membrane lipids.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Poliovirus may enter via direct lipid interactions; leaves open physiological relevance in cellular or animal infection models.
Tosteson et al. (1997) studied this question.
