Abstract:Vitamin D has been shown to have antiviral activity in a number of different systems. However, few studies have investigated whether the antiviral activity is exerted through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). In this study, we investigated whether the antiviral activity of a vitamin D receptor agonist (EB1089) towards dengue virus (DENV) was modulated by VDR. To undertake this, VDR was successively overexpressed, knocked down and retargeted through mutation of the nuclear localization signal. In no case was an eff… Show more
