Tissue tropism is the range of cells and tissues of a host that support growth of a particular pathogen, such as a virus, bacterium or parasite. Some bacteria...

other pathogens affect what is called "host tropism", "tissue tropism", or "cell tropism"; in which case tropism refers to the way in which different viruses/pathogens...

Host tropism is the infection specificity of certain pathogens to particular hosts and host tissues. This explains why most pathogens are only capable...

viral protein stably interacts with a host cell protein—determines cell tropism. In the case of HBV the host receptor is human sodium taurocholate receptor...

Endothelial cell tropism or endotheliotropism is a type of tissue tropism or host tropism that characterizes an pathogen's ability to recognize and infect...

with its complementary cell receptor is central in determining the tissue tropism, infectivity, and species range of the released virus. Coronaviruses...

explain why poliovirus preferentially infects certain tissues. This suggests that tissue tropism is determined after cellular infection. Recent work has...

intense when introduced during or after the initial infection of the host tissue. Bile salts are produced by the liver in response to eating fatty foods...

find excess numbers of cancers associated with SV40. Due to its high tissue tropism, biotechnology companies seek to utilize modified SV40 based vectors...

multiple diverse tissue types. Tissue specificity is determined by the capsid serotype and pseudotyping of AAV vectors to alter their tropism range will likely...
