A three-protein combination from African swine fever virus enables the most efficient cellular entry in pseudotyped virus systems for both Ba71v and Georgia 2007 strains.
- Why it matters: High pathogenicity restricts ASFV research to high-containment facilities, limiting studies of viral entry, host interactions, and control strategies.
- What they did: The team selected candidate ASFV proteins via bioinformatic analysis and literature review, built pseudotyped viruses with these proteins, and tested which combinations supported cellular entry.
- The result: They generated the first functional ASF pseudotype systems for Ba71v and Georgia 2007, allowing safe investigation of ASFV entry mechanisms at containment level 2.
