In this study, we investigated the role of pAPN as a receptor for PDCoV by evaluating the permissiveness of different cell populations derived from the lungs of ANPEP KO and wild-type (WT) pigs. Porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) from ANPEP KO and WT pigs were used to evaluate the permissiveness of cells for infection with PDCoV and TGEV. The results showed that PAMs from pigs lacking a functional ANPEP gene are resistant to TGEV and PDCoV infection. The results from this study showed no PDCoV infection of PAMs obtained from ANPEP KO pigs (see Fig. 1A ), which supports the observations of Wang et al. ./cache/cord-312210-3x9s3g8n.txt ./txt/cord-312210-3x9s3g8n.txt
