SARS-CoV-2 spike protein recognized by innate immune receptors in a glycan-dependent way – News-Medical.Net
The spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) depends on its ability to infect new host cells following its replication and release from infected cells. This pivots on its ability to bind to cell surface receptors like the ACE…
The spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) depends on its ability to infect new host cells following its replication and release from infected cells. This pivots on its ability to bind to cell surface receptors like the ACE2 enzyme.
A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv* in July 2020 reports that this binding is crucially dependent on the recognition of glycans by a number of receptors on innate immune cells. This finding could throw up many ne…
