Study of cellular receptors involved in the entry of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) KU Leuven
Our research unit focusses on the study of new entry inhibitors for human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). In our current research project we aim on (i) the characterization of specific cellulair receptors for RSV entry in lung epithelial cells, and (ii) the maturation and processing of viral envelop proteins during viral entry.
