OCA2 and infection: In an effort to determine the role of RABV P protein during infection, we evaluated the BBB permeability in vivo after infection with wt RABV strain (GD-SH-01), laboratory-attenuated RABV strain (HEP-Flury), and a chimeric RABV strain (rHEP-SH-P) that was rescued in our laboratory previously (Tian et al., 2017b).
