LRP1 expression correlates with RVFV tissue tropism. (A) Expression profile of LRP1 in the liver and spleen of lambs with different infection statuses. Dots represent individual normalized gene counts (on a log₁₀ scale), and the shaded area shows the distribution of the samples within each group. (B) Schematic representation of RVFV tissue tropism. The elevated basal levels of LRP1 in the liver correlated with the preference of RVFV for targeting this organ. Abbreviations: Inf., infected; dpi, days post-infection.
