“…The fact that neutralizing the acidic endosome-lysosome system enhances PCV2 infection of epithelial cells is in contrast with numerous studies that have shown that neutralizing the acidic endosome-lysosome system inhibits the infection of pH-dependent nonenveloped viruses (7,8,18,35,36,63) and enveloped viruses (21,38,64,65,70). Inhibiting endosome-lysosome system acidification also inhibits PCV2 infection of 3D4/31 monocytic cells (51), further contrasting the results presented in this study for epithelial cells.…”
