Single-cell tracking of flavivirus RNA uncovers species-specific interactions with the immune system dictating disease outcome

Abstract

Analysis of virus replication on a single-cell level is often hampered by a lack of specific or sensitive enough reagents. Here, Douamet al. use RNA-flow technique to track (+) and (−) strand RNA of yellow fever virus in hematopoietic cells in mouse models and identify virus-host interactions that affect disease outcome.
