Human airway cells prevent SARS-CoV-2 multibasic cleavage site cell culture adaptation

2021-01-22

Abstract excerpt

Virus propagation methods generally use transformed cell lines to grow viruses from clinical specimens, which may force viruses to rapidly adapt to cell culture conditions, a process facilitated by high viral mutation rates. Upon propagation in VeroE6 cells, SARS-CoV-2 may mutate or delete the multibasic cleavage site (MBCS) in the spike protein that facilitates serine protease-mediated entry into human airway cel...
