To confirm that PCDH10, VLDLR and ApoER2 can support infection by group A WEEV strains, we rescued replication-competent WEEV Fleming and McMillan from molecular clones, and found they replicated faster and to higher levels in K562 cells expressing PCDH10, VLDLR or ApoER2 than in control cells (Fig. 3c). This evidence concerns the gene LRP8 and infection.
