Phosphatidylserine receptors are critical for lethal infection by Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus
The tick-borne Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) causes severe and often fatal hemorrhagic disease for which no approved countermeasures are available. Herein, we identify the phosphatidylserine receptors (PSRs) AXL, TIM-1, and TIM-4 as critical entry host factors for CCHFV in cell lines and liver-derived primary cell cultures. Small-molecule and antibody-based PSR inhibitors greatly…
