The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant spike protein facilitates cell–cell fusion

2022-06-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Objective The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein mediates virus entry by binding to the host cell receptor, human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), and catalyzing virus–host membrane fusion. The S protein also mediates cell–cell fusion, potentially allowing the virus to spread virion-independently. Here, we compared the fusogenicity of...
