This study focuses on the detection of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) NS5 protein in infected and NS5-transfected DAOY HTB-186 human neural cells. TBEV NS5 protein was shown to localize mainly on the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum. An interesting finding was also nuclear localization, which is supported by the obtained data from both, confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation.
