Determinants of Enteric Calicivirus Infection.

PROJECT SUMMARY Human norovirus (HuNoV) gastroenteritis is a significant public health burden worldwide. The lack of a robust and reproducible HuNoV cell culture system still limits our ability to study fundamental aspects of HuNoV infection. While several recent breakthroughs increased our ability to propagate HuNoVs in vitro (e.g. B cell and human enteroid cultures), these systems are not robust enough, can be time consuming and expensive or hard to replicate. The surrogate models available for HuNoV research do not necessarily reflect essential biological features of HuNoVs and their natural host. In this proposal we will use our novel rhesus enteric caliciviruses (ReCV) model that…
