Infection of the respiratory mucosa with RV occurs via cell‐surface receptors, including the intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM‐1, for RVs of the major group, such as RV‐16) and the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR, for RVs of the minor group, such as RV‐1b; Palmenberg et al., 2009). Here, LDLR is linked to infection.
