Early circulating strain of SARS-CoV-2 causes severe pneumonia distinct from that caused by variants of concern in mice transduced with an adenoviral vector expressing human ACE2
2022-05-06
Abstract excerpt
To analyze the molecular pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2, a small animal model such as mice is needed: human ACE2, the receptor of SARS-CoV-2, needs to be expressed in the respiratory tract of mice. We conferred SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility in mice by using an adenoviral vector expressing hACE2 driven by an EF1α promoter with a leftward orientation. In this model, severe pneumonia like human COVID-19 was observed in SARS-...
