To formally examine whether the activity of MYH9 in viral infection is independent of the virus entry route, we analyzed infection levels in MYH9 knockdown cells upon DYN-2 inhibition; for these experiments, we used the NWA TCRV and the OWA LCMV, whose entry is DYN-2-dependent (CME) and -independent (MPL), respectively. This evidence concerns the gene DNM2 and viral infectious disease.
