Functional assessment of cell entry and receptor usage for SARS-CoV-2 and other lineage B betacoronaviruses.

TL;DR: An approach to rapidly screen lineage B betacoronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV and the recently emerged SARS -CoV-2, for receptor usage and their ability to infect cell types from different species is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Susceptibility to SARS coronavirus S protein-driven infection correlates with expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 and infection can be blocked by soluble receptor.

TL;DR: The results point to a central role of ACE2 in SARS-CoV infection and suggest a minor contribution of the cytoplasmic domain to receptor function, which is not important for receptor function.
Journal ArticleDOI

DC-SIGN and CLEC-2 mediate human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capture by platelets

TL;DR: It is shown that platelets express both the C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) and low levels of DC-SIGN, indicating that these lectins are required for efficient HIV-1 binding to platelets and providing evidence that platelet-associated virus remains infectious and can escape degradation by platelets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibodies are necessary for rVSV/ZEBOV-GP–mediated protection against lethal Ebola virus challenge in nonhuman primates

TL;DR: It is suggested that antibodies play a critical role in rVSV-mediated protection against ZEBOV, and depletion of CD4+ T cells during vaccination caused a complete loss of glycoprotein-specific antibodies and abrogated vaccine protection.
