Abstract

West Nile virus: interaction with human cells This manuscript reports a comprehensive systems level description of the molecular signatures governing the interaction of West Nile virus with human cells. A whole-genome human RNA interference gene silencing screen in HeLa cells identified 305 host proteins genes that facilitate West Nile virus infection of human cells. A number of the identified also play a role in the infection of dengue virus, another flavivirus related to West Nile virus. This work highlights differences in the molecular pathogenesis of related flaviviruses, and points to several possible new targets for antiviral drugs
