Analysis of spike protein variants evolved in a novel mouse model of persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection
2023-03-20
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 mutation rates have increased over time, resulting in the emergence of several variants of concern. Persistent infection is assumed to be involved in the evolution of the variants; however, there is currently no animal model to recapitulate persistent infection. We established a novel model of persistent infection using xenografts of Calu-3 human lung cancer cells in immunocompromised mice. After infect...
