Metalloproteinase-dependent and TMPRSS2-independnt cell surface entry pathway of SARS-CoV-2 requires the furin-cleavage site and the S2 domain of spike protein

2021-12-15

Abstract excerpt

The ongoing global vaccination program to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection, the causative agent of COVID-19, has had significant success. However, recently virus variants have emerged that can evade the immunity in a host achieved through vaccination. Consequently, new therapeutic agents that can efficiently prevent infection from these new variants, and hence COVID-19 spread are urgently required. To achieve this, ex...
