Variable DPP4 expression in multiciliated cells of the human nasal epithelium as a determinant for MERS-CoV tropism
6 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Transmissibility of respiratory viruses is a complex viral trait that is intricately linked to tropism. Several highly transmissible viruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Influenza viruses, specifically target multiciliated cells in the upper respiratory tract to facilitate efficient human-to-human transmission. In contrast, the zoonotic Middle East respiratory syndrome...
