Human Lungs Show Limited Permissiveness for SARS-CoV-2 Due to Scarce ACE2 Levels But Strong Virus-Induced Immune Activation in Alveolar Macrophages

2020-10-06

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 utilizes the ACE2 transmembrane peptidase as essential cellular entry receptor. Several studies have suggested abundant ACE2 expression in the human lung, inferring strong permissiveness to SARS-CoV-2 infection with resultant alveolar damage and lung injury. Against this expectation, we provide evidence that ACE2 expression must be considered scarce, thereby limiting SARS-CoV-2 propagation in the human...
