Lethality of SARS-CoV-2 infection in K18 human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 transgenic mice

Lethality of SARS-CoV-2 infection in K18 human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 transgenic mice

Here, the authors characterize tissue-level SARS-CoV-2 infection and pathogenesis in transgenic mice expressing human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) by the human cytokeratin 18 promoter (K18-hACE2) and show that infection induces lethality, making the K18-hACE2 model suitable for vaccine an...

Sumario:Here, the authors characterize tissue-level SARS-CoV-2 infection and pathogenesis in transgenic mice expressing human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) by the human cytokeratin 18 promoter (K18-hACE2) and show that infection induces lethality, making the K18-hACE2 model suitable for vaccine and therapeutic evaluation.
