rhabdovirus (MSRV) in largemouth bass, the precise mechanism by which it invades host cells remains unclear. Here, we determined that laminin receptor (LamR) is a novel target of MSRV, that interacts with its G protein and is involved in viral attachment and internalization, transporting with MSRV together in early and late endosomes. This is the first report demonstrating that LamR is a cellular receptor in the MSRV life cycle, thus contributing new insights into host-pathogen interactions.
