Cytoplasmic tail truncation of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein enhances titer of pseudotyped vectors but masks the effect of the D614G mutation

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The high pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 requires it to be handled under biosafety level 3 conditions. Consequently, Spike protein pseudotyped vectors are a useful tool to study viral entry and its inhibition, with retroviral, lentiviral (LV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vectors the most commonly used systems. Methods to increase the titer of such vectors commonly include concentration by ul...
