An inducible hACE2 transgenic mouse model recapitulates SARS-CoV-2 infection and pathogenesis in vivo
12 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
The classical manifestation of COVID-19 is pulmonary infection. After host cell entry via human angiotensin-converting enzyme II (hACE2), the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus can infect pulmonary epithelial cells, especially the AT2 (alveolar type II) cells that are crucial for maintaining normal lung function. However, previous hACE2 transgenic models have failed to specifically...
