<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>Puumala virus (PUUV) infection causes over 5000 cases of hemorrhagic fever in Europe annually and can influence the hemostatic balance extensively. Infection might lead to hemorrhage, while a recent study showed an increased risk of myocardial infarction during or shortly after PUUV infection. The mechanism by which this hantavirus influences the coagulation system remains unknown. Therefore we aimed to elucidate mechanisms explaining alterations seen in primary and secondary hemostasis during PUUV infection. By using low passage PUUV isolates to infect primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) we were able to show alterations in the regulation of primary- and secondary hemostasis and in the release of fibrinolysis regulators. Our main finding was an activation of secondary hemostasis due to increased tissue factor (TF) expression leading to increased thrombin generation in a functional assay. Furthermore, we showed that during infection platelets adhered to HUVEC and subsequently specifically to PUUV virus particles. Infection of HUVEC with PUUV did not result in increased von Willebrand factor while they produced more plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) compared to controls. The PAI-1 produced in this model formed complexes with vitronectin. This is the first report that reveals a potential mechanism behind the pro-coagulant changes in PUUV patients, which could be the result of increased thrombin generation due to an increased TF expression on endothelial cells during infection. Furthermore, we provide insight into the contribution of endothelial cell responses regarding hemostasis in PUUV pathogenesis.</p>

<abstract><p>Puumala virus (PUUV) infection causes over 5000 cases of hemorrhagic fever in Europe annually and can influence the hemostatic balance extensively. Infection might lead to hemorrhage, while a recent study showed an increased risk of myocardial infarction during or shortly after PUUV infection. The mechanism by which this hantavirus influences the coagulation system remains unknown. Therefore we aimed to elucidate mechanisms explaining alterations seen in primary and secondary hemostasis during PUUV infection. By using low passage PUUV isolates to infect primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) we were able to show alterations in the regulation of primary- and secondary hemostasis and in the release of fibrinolysis regulators. Our main finding was an activation of secondary hemostasis due to increased tissue factor (TF) expression leading to increased thrombin generation in a functional assay. Furthermore, we showed that during infection platelets adhered to HUVEC and subsequently specifically to PUUV virus particles. Infection of HUVEC with PUUV did not result in increased von Willebrand factor while they produced more plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) compared to controls. The PAI-1 produced in this model formed complexes with vitronectin. This is the first report that reveals a potential mechanism behind the pro-coagulant changes in PUUV patients, which could be the result of increased thrombin generation due to an increased TF expression on endothelial cells during infection. Furthermore, we provide insight into the contribution of endothelial cell responses regarding hemostasis in PUUV pathogenesis.</p>

<body><sec><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Puumala virus (PUUV), a hantavirus carried by chronically infected bank voles, is the causative agent of an estimated 5000 cases yearly of viral hemorrhagic fever in Europe (<xref rid="B43" ref-type="bibr">Vapalahti et al., 2003</xref>
; <xref rid="B41" ref-type="bibr">Vaheri et al., 2013a</xref>
). Hantaviruses are rodent-borne, negative stranded, RNA viruses belonging to the <italic>Bunyaviridae</italic>
family, which may cause two types of disease in humans (<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">Goeijenbier et al., 2013</xref>
). In Europe and Asia, hantavirus infection causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), characterized by renal failure and bleeding complications. In North and South America, hantavirus infection causes the hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) where patients present with severe acute respiratory distress (<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">Sargianou et al., 2012</xref>
). Changing ecological factors determine fluctuations in hantavirus epidemiology resulting in sudden increases in incidence, for instance through increased food availability, prolonged virus survival and decreased biodiversity (<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">Reusken and Heyman, 2013</xref>
). Recent epidemiological studies reported an overall incidence increase of PUUV infections in Europe (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">Heyman and Vaheri, 2008</xref>
).</p>
<p>Although PUUV infections have a low case fatality rate (<1%) and in literature the virus is often described as the least virulent of the pathogenic viruses within the hantavirus genus, PUUV infections can cause severe disease in healthy adults, which may require a long recovery period lasting up to 1 year (<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">Schmaljohn and Hjelle, 1997</xref>
). Furthermore, several reports described cases with severe (hemorrhagic) complications like pituitary gland hemorrhage, hematemesis and gastro-intestinal bleedings (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Eckerle et al., 2012</xref>
; <xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">Antonen et al., 2013</xref>
). In contrast to these bleeding complications, a recent study from Sweden reported increased risk for acute myocardial infarction shortly after PUUV infection (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Connolly-Andersen et al., 2014</xref>
). Given the high incidence in Northern Europe, acute myocardial infarction as a complication of PUUV infection could have a major impact in endemic areas. In light of both bleeding and thrombotic events that might complicate PUUV infections, we hypothesized that endothelial cells, also the target cells for hantaviruses and the major regulators of coagulation and inflammation, play a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease (<xref rid="B46" ref-type="bibr">Zhou et al., 2003</xref>
).</p>
<p>During hantavirus infection drastic alterations in the coagulation system have been observed (<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">Laine et al., 2014</xref>
). Clinical studies focusing on primary and secondary hemostasis during hantavirus disease showed thrombocytopenia in both HFRS and HCPS, a decreased plasma activity of coagulation factors II, V, VIII, IX, and X in acute HFRS patients, prolongation of the prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin time, increased thrombin generation and D-dimer levels and a decrease in ADAMTS13 activity in acute PUUV patients (<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">Lee, 1987</xref>

<p>Integrin ανβ3, experimentally proven to be the receptor for hantavirus infection, is abundantly present on the surface of endothelial cells (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">Gavrilovskaya et al., 1999</xref>
; <xref rid="B38" ref-type="bibr">Song et al., 2005</xref>
). Infection with pathogenic hantaviruses is suggested to result in the loss of function of the ανβ3 integrin (<xref rid="B44" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2012</xref>
), but also an increased ανβ3 expression on cultured endothelial cells and platelets has been observed (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">Liu et al., 2008</xref>
). Furthermore <xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Gavrilovskaya et al. (2010)</xref>
studied the adherence of quiescent platelets to Sin Nombre and Hantaan virus infected endothelial cells seems to be the result of virus binding to the ανβ3 integrin present on platelets (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Gavrilovskaya et al., 2010</xref>
).</p>
<p>How the abnormalities in the primary (thrombocytopenia) and secondary hemostasis (increase in thrombin generation and raised D-Dimer levels) are induced in PUUV infected patients and the mechanism by which Old-World hantaviruses cause hemorrhage and/or renal failure remain largely elusive (<xref rid="B42" ref-type="bibr">Vaheri et al., 2013b</xref>
). Lack of specific treatment and an effective vaccine makes understanding of the pathophysiology of hantavirus infection an important medical need, especially with the recently discovered association of PUUV with cardiovascular disease (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Connolly-Andersen et al., 2014</xref>

After incubation with HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit conjugate (1:1000) TMB was added to the wells for substrate reaction. After 10 min reaction was stopped by addition of 0.5 M sulphuric acid and optical density (OD) was measured at 450 nm using Tecan ELISA reader. CD41a expression OD was calculated by subtracting the blanc OD value (wells incubated without platelets but with detection antibody and conjugate). Rabbit polyclonal anti-CD3 (1:500) served as an isotype control.</p>

<p>To test if changes in CD41a expression was related to direct binding between PUUV and platelets, a mechanism shown in Hantaan and Andes virus infection (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Gavrilovskaya et al., 2010</xref>

platelets). Subsequently, cells were washed five times with PBS and the bound platelets were quantified by using a platelet detection antibody (anti-CD41a 1:500 in dilution buffer) followed by a conjugate substrate reaction. CD41a expression was calculated by subtraction of the OD measured in the wells without platelet incubations (blanco) to correct for direct (a-specific) anti-CD41a antibody binding to PUUV and anti-CD3 was used as isotype control. Subsequently, ELISA plates were coated with mouse monoclonal anti-PUUV glycoprotein- or isotype control antibody (IgG2 corona virus; 1:500 in PBS at 4<sup>∘</sup>
C overnight) followed by incubation with PUUV to capture the virus followed by platelet incubation, detection antibody and conjugate substrate reaction. Thirdly, to further confirm platelet PUUV binding, ELISA plates were coated with an anti-platelet antibody (1:500 in PBS at 4<sup>∘</sup>
C overnight), followed by incubation with fresh isolated platelets and eventually an incubation step with PUUV or VSV followed by a hantavirus detection antibody (mouse mAB anti-PUUV-glycoprotein 1:500). After washing substrate reaction was achieved by conjugate addition and TMB reaction steps. As a final step we studied the potential blocking of platelet binding by PUUV particles by the addition of a blocking step with polyclonal human anti PUUV serum. PUUV coated plates and plates coated with 5 days old virus free VeroE6 medium were incubated with a polyclonal PUUV serum (1:50) from a case described in <xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">Goeijenbier et al.

reported the potential of Hantaan and Andes virus to bind quiescent platelets via ανβ3 integrin. Since this observation is of much importance in further understanding the alterations in primary hemostasis and its role in disease mechanisms in HFRS we decided to confirm this mechanism for PUUV using a different approach. First we assessed the ability of quiescent platelets to bind to PUUV infected HUVEC (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
</bold>
). Binding of platelets was determined by measuring the intensity of CD41a (platelet glycoprotein IIb), a heterodimeric integral membrane protein present only on platelets and megakaryocytes. CD41a expression was significantly higher on the HUVEC monolayer after infection with a MOI of 0.5, or 3 compared to the control. Detection of CD41a expression did not differ when platelets were not added to the HUVEC monolayers, suggesting that there was no non-specific anti-CD41a binding to infected cells. Furthermore there was no difference in OD values when an isotype control (anti-CD3) was used to detect platelets. Based on CD41a expression, statistically significant differences were measured between infected wells and wells incubated with virus free VeroE6 medium (negative control) at 24 h post infection (one way ANOVA, MOI 3 vs. NEG <italic>p</italic>
< 0.01, MOI 0.5 vs. Neg <italic>p</italic>
< 0.05). After 48 h of infection this difference in CD41a expression was also significant between MOI 3 infected wells and the BPL inactivated virus control (one way ANOVA, MOI 3 vs. NEG <italic>p</italic>
< 0.001 and MOI 3 vs. BPL <italic>p</italic>
< 0.001; MOI 0.5 vs. NEG <italic>p</italic>
< 0.05). Taken together, the data indicate that platelets bind to cultures incubated with PUUV. HUVEC incubated with BPL did show a trend to increased platelet CD41a expression (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>

<p>We measured VWF antigen in cell free supernatant and VWF expression on the surface of infected HUVEC. Increased VWF production may be a general inflammatory response of endothelial cells that could be evoked as a result of PUUV infection.

<p>Subsequently, to control if the binding of platelets was directly to the PUUV particles and not due to another factor present in the VeroE6 supernatant we made use of a sandwich ELISA principle. PUUV was incubated on ELISA plates with wells coated with a monoclonal IgG2 specific for the glycoprotein of PUUV or with a IgG2 control antibody. By this approach significantly more platelets bound to the wells where PUUV was captured compared to wells with no PUUV capture (Mann–Whitney <italic>U</italic>

).</p>
<p>To confirm direct binding between platelets and PUUV, platelets were captured to anti-CD41 coated ELISA plates and incubated with virus followed by detection with a PUUV specific antibody. To control for binding between PUUV detection antibody and captured platelets, control wells were incubated with VSV. PUUV detection was significantly higher in the wells incubated with PUUV compared to VSV (Mann–Whitney <italic>U</italic>
; <italic>p</italic>

). These experiments collectively suggest that platelets can specifically bind to PUUV.</p>
<p>Finally, we show in <bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3D</xref>
</bold>
that the binding of platelets to PUUV particles could be blocked by addition of a blocking step with human serum from a recovered PUUV case. When wells coated with PUUV were incubated with human serum with proven PUUV neutralizing IgG antibodies significantly less platelets adhered to the wells compared to wells incubated with a PUUV negative human control serum (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3D</xref>

<sec><title>Increased Thrombin Generation and Tissue Factor Expression after PUUV Infection of HUVEC</title>
<p>To test the hypothesis whether increased thrombin generation observed in acute PUUV patients is the result of increased TF expression on endothelial cells we incubated HUVEC, infected with PUUV at a MOI of 3 or with a virus free 5 days old Vero E6 medium (control) with a polyclonal anti-TF antibody. By this approach we showed that TF expression was significantly increased with an almost twofold increase in OD value 48 h post infection (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4A</xref>
</bold>
, Mann–Whitney <italic>U</italic>
; <italic>p</italic>
= 0.0047). Cells infected with PUUV also showed an increased TF concentration when the cell lysates of PUUV infected wells were compared to the lysates of control wells (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4B</xref>
</bold>
; both mock and BPL). Subsequently we wanted to prove that the increase in TF expression on the endothelial cell surface was of biological significance and would led to increased thrombin generation. Thrombin generation was quantified directly on infected endothelial cells by incubating normal plasma on cells and initiating coagulation by the addition of calcium ions. Infected cells induced plasma clotting faster due to increased thrombin generation (<bold>Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4C,D</xref>
</bold>
). Using a calibration curve with purified TF in the absence of endothelial cells, we quantified HUVEC TF production after virus infection and after incubation with a virus free medium control. TF concentration showed a statistically significant increase for MOI 3 at 24 h compared to the negative control and the HUVEC infected with MOI 0.5 (one way ANOVA; <italic>p</italic>
< 0.01) and at 48 h post infection compared to the negative control (one way ANOVA; <italic>p</italic>

<sec><title>Increased Levels of PAI-1 and PAI-1-Vitronectin Complexes in HUVEC Supernatant after Infection with PUUV</title>
<p>Important proteins in the regulation of fibrinolysis show close interactions with the pathogenic hantavirus receptor ανβ3 integrin. For instance vitronectin, a stabilizer of PAI-1 activity in plasma, is largely regulated by this receptor (<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">Mackow and Gavrilovskaya, 2009</xref>
; <xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">Florova et al., 2013</xref>
). To study potential changes in regulators of fibrinolysis we first measured PAI-1 levels in the cell-free supernatant and supernatant of cell lysate from 24-well plates infected with PUUV or control infections. The total PAI-1 antigen (the combination of levels in the supernatant and cell lysate) was significantly increased 48 h post infection (Kruskal–Wallis; <italic>p</italic>
< 0.05) with MOI 3 (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5A</xref>
</bold>
). Subsequently, we tested if in our model PAI-1 would bind to vitronectin, since this binding is associated with increased/prolonged PAI-1 activity (<xref rid="B37" ref-type="bibr">Seiffert and Loskutoff, 1991</xref>
), and if this interaction is altered during infection. ELISA plates coated with a monoclonal antibody against vitronectin, incubated with supernatant from our experiments (pooled, control or from MOI 3 infected wells) followed by incubation with PAI-1 antibody suggested formation of PAI-1 vitronectin complexes due to an increase in OD compared to incubation with PBS (mean expression in medium 490 mOD (±100) vs. 370 mOD (±70) p = 0.02). If supernatants were tested separately (PUUV vs. mock) levels of PAI-1 vitronectin complexes were increased after PUUV infection (Mann–Whitney <italic>U</italic>

<sec><title>Discussion</title>
<p>The present study addresses platelet binding to PUUV infected cells and activation of secondary hemostasis after endothelial cell PUUV infection. With the lack of a valid and accessible animal model for old-world hantavirus infection, we remain dependent on <italic>ex vivo</italic>
cell culture models to address questions regarding virulence and pathogenesis (<xref rid="B42" ref-type="bibr">Vaheri et al., 2013b</xref>
). Taking into account the recently found association of PUUV infection with cardiovascular disease (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Connolly-Andersen et al., 2014</xref>
) and hemorrhagic complications that may occur during infection, the interaction between PUUV and the coagulation system especially warrants further attention. Since PUUV tends to rapidly lose virulence upon <italic>in vitro</italic>
cell passages the use of low passaged isolates is of vital importance (<xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">Nemirov et al., 2003</xref>
). Therefore, we have put a lot of emphasis on obtaining low passage PUUV isolates and optimisation of the hemostatic assays under the right biosafety regulations using primary cell cultures.</p>
<p>Based on hemostatic changes seen in several clinical studies, most from Northern Europe, we decided to study specific parts of the coagulation system <italic>in vitro</italic>
. We started by studying the effects of PUUV infection on formation of a platelet plug, the major event in primary hemostasis. Binding of platelets by PUUV infected cells could explain thrombocytopenia in acute PUUV patients, since it would result in wasting or loss of platelets adhered to these cells (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Gavrilovskaya et al., 2010</xref>
; <xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">Laine et al., 2011</xref>
)<italic>.</italic>
Especially if we make notice of the ability of hantaviruses to infect megakaryocytes and thereby lead to a decreased production of platelets, in addition to the loss of platelets adhered to infected cells (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">Liang et al., 2004</xref>
; <xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">Lutteke et al., 2010</xref>
). In our model it seems that PUUV infection increases binding of platelets to the surface of HUVEC compared to control cells (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
</bold>
). Here we assumed increased CD41a expression observed in the first experiments was the result of an increased number of platelets on the HUVEC. Theoretically, increased CD41a detection could also be due to an increased expression of CD41a on platelets, after 30 min incubation with infected HUVEC, rather than an actual increase in platelet numbers. While we cannot rule this out based on our experiments, we blocked extrinsic platelet activation by prostaglandin treatment making platelet activation less likely. Furthermore, in line with studies performed with more pathogenic hantaviruses (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Gavrilovskaya et al., 2010</xref>
), we tested specific binding of platelets to PUUV particles. Judged from results from the platelet pull down experiments (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>
</bold>
) this seemed to be a specific binding between virus and platelets which could be reversed by the addition of PUUV neutralizing antibodies. In these experiments we controlled for aspecific binding of antibodies (isotype control experiments), factors present in the virus culture medium (5 days old VeroE6 medium as a control) and binding of platelet detection antibody directly to PUUV.</p>
<p>We expected the increased platelet binding to co-occur with increased VWF production, as a general inflammatory response during infection. However, the observation that VWF concentration does not change during PUUV infection, further suggested a VWF-independent mechanism for platelet binding in HFRS. Results from earlier studies showed an increased VWF concentration in hospitalized PUUV patients (<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">Laine et al., 2011</xref>
). One should keep in mind that overall plasma VWF level in any patient represents the state of the total endothelial cell layer and not only that of infected cells, as is the case in our model. Furthermore we are studying the acute response of endothelial cells in the first 48 h after infection, a time point at which PUUV patients are generally not considered to be hospitalized and tested. The increase of VWF in all three conditions (control, BPL and PUUV) over time in our HUVEC model could be the result of an increased number of cells or a sign of <italic>in vitro</italic>
stress and activation of the endothelial cells. Since it seems highly unlikely the cells still multiply after the formation of a full monolayer, which is present at the time of infection, we believe that also non-infected cells show a certain level of activation when in culture.</p>
<p><xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Gavrilovskaya et al. (2010)</xref>
were the first to study the interaction of hantaviruses (Andes and Hantaan) with platelets, and concluded that there was a specific binding of Hantaan and Andes virus particle particles to ανβ3 integrins present on both endothelial cells and platelets. Interestingly, our experiment showed a trend to increased number of platelets bound to the BPL-inactivated virus treated cultures, suggesting active replication was unnecessary and inactivated virus, bound to the cell surface, might also bind to integrins present on platelets. However, this hypothesis is merely based on a statistical trend observed in wells with the cells incubated with BPL inactivated virus. For the interpretation of our data one should take in mind that we made use of a MOI 3 BPL at <italic>t</italic>
= 0 h and that the BPL inactivated virus will not replicate. Therefore at timepoint <italic>t</italic>
= 24 and <italic>t</italic>
= 48 the BPL control will most likely be comparable to the MOI 0.5 infection. It could very well be the case that when increasing the MOI for the BPL infection a more comparable result to the MOI 3 infection would be observed.</p>
<p>Puumala virus infections of HUVEC directly increased the expression of TF on the cell surface and in the cell lysate compared to controls. This resulted in drastic activation of secondary hemostasis in our cell model during PUUV infection. Data from a direct clotting assay on the cell monolayer gives interesting insights in the potential mechanism behind increased thrombin generation seen in acute PUUV patients (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Laine et al., 2010</xref>
, <xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). A clear pro-coagulant state, the result of an increased expression of TF on the surface of PUUV infected cells, resulted in enhanced thrombin generation. Increased thrombin generation (decreased thrombin time, overall increase in prothrombin fragments 1 + 2, antithrombin and protein C) that <xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Laine et al.</xref>
(<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">2010, 2014</xref>
) observed in acute PUUV patients could very well be the result of direct infection of endothelial cells and concomitant increased production of TF. Whether increase in TF is a general defense response or if the virus actually benefits from TF, as is seen in certain herpesvirus infections (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">Pryzdial et al., 2014</xref>
), remains unknown. However, excess of TF production during infection could lead to increased clotting and eventually consumptive coagulopathy or even DIC, a severe condition that is only seen in a small percentage of PUUV patients (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Laine et al., 2010</xref>
), but which could be one of the factors contributing to the hemorrhagic complications seen in HFRS. Especially since increased TF expression has been proven to play an important role in the pathogenesis of other viral hemorrhagic fevers like Marburg and Ebola (<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">Geisbert et al., 2003a</xref>
,<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">b</xref>
).</p>
<p>Since alterations in PAI-1 levels are related to renal disturbances comparable to that seen in hantavirus disease (<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">Gong et al., 2007</xref>
; <xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">Malgorzewicz et al., 2013</xref>
) and functional polymorphisms in PAI-1 were related to more severe disease in acute PUUV patients (<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">Laine et al., 2012</xref>
), we also studied PAI-1 and regulators of PAI-1 activity. Infection with PUUV increases PAI-1 production, which would <italic>in vivo</italic>
lead to decreased fibrinolysis. The ανβ3 integrin receptor plays an important role in PAI-1/vitronectin complex formation (<xref rid="B46" ref-type="bibr">Zhou et al., 2003</xref>
). Increased ανβ3 expression during PUUV infection combined with competitive binding of hantavirus with vitronectin for ανβ3 could hypothetically lead to further alterations in PAI-1 half-life and stability. The increased level of vitronectin-PAI-1 complexes in the supernatant of PUUV infected cells further strengthens this hypothesis. Considering that an increase in PAI-1 and vitronectin could result in renal impairment, and even cause a nephritis-like response, pledges for further evaluation of interaction between ανβ3 integrin, PAI-1, vitronectin and hantaviruses.</p>
