Molecular Mechanism of the Interaction Between Megalocytivirus-Induced Virus-Mock Basement Membrane (VMBM) and Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

The interactions between virus-encoded VMBM components and lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC)-specific markers lymphatic vessel endothelial receptor-1 and VEGFR-3, which contributed to the selective adhesion of LECs on VMBM, were analyzed.
