Over the last few years, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, has undergone significant changes, evolving from the original wild-type strains to the highly transmissible Omicron variant.

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly ...

Hijacking host proteins for effective complement resistance By propagating SARS-CoV-2 in human cells the researchers discovered that the virus particles acquire the cellular proteins CD55 and CD59.

In a recent paper, Henry’s team detailed the aeration and feeding strategies they used as they scaled production of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from a 0.75 L bioreactor to a 1 L multisystem bioreactor.

Scientists have observed signs that the virus may persist in various parts of the body, and many suspect that this lingering virus, or remnants consisting of SARS-CoV-2 protein, may be causing ...
