Systematic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection of an ACE2-negative human airway cell
2021-03-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Established in vitro models for SARS-CoV-2 infection are limited and include cell lines of non-human origin and those engineered to overexpress ACE2, the cognate host cell receptor. We identified human H522 lung adenocarcinoma cells as naturally permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection despite complete absence of ACE2. Infection of H522 cells required the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, though in contrast...
