Abstract Background Nipah virus NiV a recently discovered zoonotic virus infects and replicates in several human cell types. Its replication in human neuronal cells however is less efficient in comparison to other fully susceptible cells. In the present study the SK-N-MC human neuronal cell protein response to NiV infection is examined using proteomic approaches. Results Method for separation of the NiV-infected human neuronal cell proteins using twodimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 2D-PAGE was established. At least 800 protein spots were resolved of which seven were unique six were significantly up-regulated and eight were significantly down-regulated. Six of these altered proteins were identified using mass spectrometry MS and confirmed using MS MS. The heterogenous nuclear .
