Figure Lengend Snippet: Lack of Lrp1 reduces JCV binding, internalization, and infection of murine cells. ( A, B ) Virus infectivity was determined by infecting WT and Lrp1 KO cells at an MOI of 0.1 with either ( A ) JCV or ( B ) ZIKV and quantifying viral RNA in the supernatant at 24 hpi (JCV) or 48 hpi (ZIKV). ( C, D ) JCV-N antigen (pink) counterstained with DAPI (blue). Slides were imaged at 10× using a Leica DMI8 inverted microscope. Scale bar = 250 µm. ( E, F ) Binding and internalization assays after surfen treatment using ( E ) JCV and ( F ) ZIKV as a control. Statistics were determined by two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test ( A, E, F ) or Welch’s t -test ( B ). *, P < 0.05; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, no significance.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CL IV of human LRP1 binds and neutralizes JCV. ( A–C ) FRNT assays were performed by mixing virus with increasing concentrations of LRP1 CL II -Fc, LRP1 CL IV -Fc, or an Fc control protein prior to infection of Vero E6 cells. Twenty-four hours later, foci were visualized by immunostaining, imaged using a Cytation 5, and quantified using ImageJ. Statistics were determined by two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. ( D ) Biolayer interferometry sensograms displaying association and dissociation of JCV virions to immobilized LRP1 CL IV -Fc-His (blue), CL II -Fc-His (red), or recombinant human IgG1 Fc (gray). Data were baseline subtracted using sensors in buffer alone. BLI experiments were performed in triplicate. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, no significance.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Replication kinetics of JCV in primary rat neurons. Primary rat neurons were infected with JCV at the indicated MOI. ( A ) Viral RNA or ( B ) infectious virus was quantified at 24, 36, 48, and 60 hpi time points. ( C ) Infected or mock-infected coverslips were stained for JCV-N (pink) and βIII-tubulin (green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Slides were imaged at 20× using a Nikon A1 confocal microscope. Scale bar = 250 µm. ( D ) Immunofluorescent microscopy of neurons after 4 days of culture. Coverslips were stained for Lrp1 (green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Slides were imaged at 10× using a Leica DMI8 inverted microscope. Scale bar = 250 µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Pre-treatment with a high-affinity Lrp1 binding protein reduces JCV infection. Primary rat neurons were pre-treated with different concentrations of mRAP D3 for 45 min, followed by infection with JCV ( A ) or ZIKV MR766 ( B ) at an MOI of 0.1. Supernatant was collected for quantification of virus at 24 hpi (JCV) or 48 hpi (ZIKV). ( C ) Coverslips were stained for JCV-N (pink) and βIII-tubulin (green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Slides were imaged at 10× using a Leica DMI8 inverted microscope. Scale bar = 250 µm.
