ACE2-Independent Bat Sarbecovirus Entry and Replication in Human and Bat Cells
21 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Our studies demonstrate that some unexplored sarbecoviruses are capable of replicating in human and bat cells in an ACE2-independent way but need a high trypsin environment. We found that trypsin is not compensated by other known proteases involved in some coronavirus entry. This work provides important information that the trypsin-dependent entry may be a widely employed mechanism for coronaviruses and will help...
