Quantitative assays reveal cell fusion at minimal levels of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and fusion from without
9 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Cell entry of the pandemic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is mediated by its spike protein S. As a main antigenic determinant, S protein is in focus of various therapeutic strategies. Besides particle-cell fusion, S mediates fusion between infected and uninfected cells resulting in syncytia formation. Here, we present sensitive assay systems with a high dynamic range and high...
