Pseudotyped Viruses for Enterovirus.

ABSTRACT

Using a non-pathogenic pseudotyped virus as a surrogate for a wide-type virus in scientific research complies with the recent requirements for biosafety. Enterovirus (EV) contains many species of viruses, which are a type of nonenveloped virus. The preparation of its corresponding pseudotyped virus often needs customized construction compared to some enveloped viruses. This article describes the procedures and challenges in the construction of pseudotyped virus for enterovirus (pseudotyped enterovirus, EVpv) and also introduces the application of EVpv in basic virological research, serological monitoring, and the detection of neutralizing antibody (NtAb).
