Cleavage of a Neuroinvasive Human Respiratory Virus Spike Glycoprotein by Proprotein Convertases Modulates Neurovirulence and Virus Spread within the Central Nervous System

Mixed primary cultures from BALB/c mice brain infected with HCoV-OC43 (rOC/SG758R). Viral spreading was evaluated at 24 hours post-infection. Neurons were stained for microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) (green) and the HCoV-OC43 S viral glycoprotein (red). Nuclei were stained in blue with DAPI. Magnification 200x. Talbot et al.
