Robust and persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection in the human intestinal brush border expressing cells
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Studies on patients with the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have implicated that the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a major site of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We established a human GI tract cell line model highly permissive to SARS-CoV-2. These cells, C2BBe1 intestinal cells with a brush border having high levels of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2),...
