Japanese encephalitis virus neuropenetrance is driven by mast cell chymase
How Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains unclear. Here, using a genetic mouse model and a virulent JEV strain, the authors show that perivascular mast cells (MC) mediate JEV neuroinvasion and identify the MC-protease chymase as a potential therapeutic ta...
