Establishment of a well-characterized SARS-CoV-2 lentiviral pseudovirus neutralization assay using 293T cells with stable expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2

چکیده
Pseudoviruses are useful surrogates for highly pathogenic viruses because of their safety, genetic stability, and scalability screening assays. Many different pseudovirus platforms exist, each with advantages limitations. Here we report our efforts to optimize characterize an HIV-based lentiviral assay neutralizing antibodies SARS-CoV-2 using a stable 293T cell line expressing human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2). We assessed target cells, established conditions that generate readouts over at least two-log range, confirmed consistent neutralization titers range input. Using reference sera plasma panels, evaluated precision showed correlate well results reported in other Overall, is relatively simple, scalable, suitable variety entry

The pivotal link between ACE2 deficiency and SARS-CoV-2 infection
Angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) receptors mediate the entry into the cell of three strains of coronavirus: SARS-CoV, NL63 and SARS-CoV-2. ACE2 receptors are ubiquitous and widely expressed in the heart, vessels, gut, lung (particularly in type2 pneumocytes and macrophages), kidney, testisand brain. ACE2 is mostly bound to cell membranes and only scarcely present in the circulation in a s...
متن کاملSpecial Considerations on Insulin Resistance Induced Hyperandrogenemia in Women with Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome: A Prominent COVID-19 Risk Factor
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infecting mechanism depends on hosting angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) as essential components and androgens as regulators for inducing the expression of these components. Therefore, hyperandrogenism-related disease such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in insulin resistant wome...

متن کاملRapid SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP assay setup using gene construct design approach
Background and Objective: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still an ongoing challenge in health system worldwide. Molecular detection methods including reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) can help cutting off the transmission chain of the virus. In this study, prompt setting up of the RT-LAMP assays were investigated using ge...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
