A Functional Variant in the Aquaporin-3 Promoter Modulates Its Expression and Correlates With Resistance to Porcine Epidemic Virus Infection in Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes a highly contagious intestinal disease in neonatal pigs. Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) plays important roles in maintenance of intestinal barrier function and regulation of immune responses. However, the roles of AQP3 in mediating PEDV infection to host cells and t...
