Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human airway epithelium with a xeno-nucleic acid aptamer
6 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2, the agent responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, enters cells through viral spike glycoprotein binding to the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Given the lack of effective antivirals targeting SARS-CoV-2, we previously utilized systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) and selected fluoro-arabino nucleic acid (FANA) aptamer R8-9 that was...
