ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in human saliva can adsorb to the oral mucosal epithelium
29 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is primarily transmitted through droplets. All human tissues with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serines 2 (TRMPRSS2) are potential targets of SARS-CoV-2. The role of saliva in SARS-CoV-2 transmission remains obscure. In this study, we attempted to reveal ACE2 and TRMPRSS2 protein expression in human parotid,...
