ACE2-independent SARS-CoV-2 infection and mouse adaption emerge after passage in cells expressing human and mouse ACE2
2021-12-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Human ACE2 (hACE2) is the key cell attachment and entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2, with the original SARS-CoV-2 isolates unable to use mouse ACE2 (mACE2). Herein we describe a new system for generating mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 in vitro by serial passaging virus in co-cultures of cell lines expressing hACE2 and mACE2. Mouse-adapted viruses emerged with up to five amino acid changes in the spike pro...
