Rabies Virus Hijacks and Accelerates the p75NTR Retrograde Axonal Transport Machinery
Figure 9
In order to arrive at the cell body and subsequently the CNS, rabies virus hijacks a fast route using the p75NTR endosomal pathway. In a p75NTR dependent path, RABV manipulates the axonal transport machinery to migrate faster to the cell body. An alternative, slower path, may involve alternative RABV receptors.
