    Fatty Acid-Depleted Albumin Induces the Formation of Echovirus A Particles

    Picornavirus infection requires virus uncoating, associated with the production of 135S “A” particles and 80S empty particles from 160S mature virions, to release the RNA genome into the cell cytoplasm. Normal albumin inhibits this process. We now show that when depleted of fatty acids, albumin induces the formation of echovirus A particles
