Entry, replication and innate immunity evasion of BANAL-236, a SARS-CoV-2-related bat virus, in <i>Rhinolophus</i> and human cells
2025-09-29
Abstract excerpt
Asian Rhinolophus bats are considered the natural reservoirs of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2. However, the biology of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses in bat cells is not well understood. Here, we investigated the replication of BANAL-236, the only bat-derived SARS-CoV-2 relative isolated to date, in Rhinolophus cells. BANAL-236 did not replicate in wild-type Rhinolophus cell lines. Entry assays using pseudoviruses expres...
