The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 3a Protein Up-Regulates Expression of Fibrinogen in Lung Epithelial Cells
13 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Here we analyzed the gene expression profile of cells that stably express the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 3a protein to determine its effects on host functions. A lung epithelial cell-line, A549, was chosen for this study because the lung is the primary organ infected by SARS-CoV and fatalities resulted mainly from pulmonary complications. Our results showed that the expression of 3a...
