Differentiated LUHMES Cells as a Model to Investigate Neurotropic Arboviruses and Evaluate Host-Directed Therapeutics
The application of a human neuronal precursor cell model, LUHMES (Lund human mesencephalic) cells, that can be differentiated into dopaminergic midbrain neurons and used to study virus infections is described, demonstrating the susceptibility of LUHMES cells to infection by three arthropod-borne neurotropic viruses.
