SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein and Neutralizing Anti-Spike Protein Antibodies Modulate Blood Platelet Function

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Several studies report elevated blood platelet activation and altered platelet count in COVID-19 patients, but the role of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in this process remains intriguing. Additionally, there is no data that anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (nAb) may attenuate spike protein activity toward blood platelets.

A cell-based, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein interaction assay to inform the neutralising capacity of recombinant and patient sera antibodies

open access: yesFrontiers in Virology, 2023
IntroductionThe engagement of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with ACE2 is a critical step for viral entry to human cells, and, therefore, blocking this interaction is a major determinant of the efficacy of monoclonal antibody therapeutics and vaccine ...

ACE2-Independent Interaction of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein with Human Epithelial Cells Is Inhibited by Unfractionated Heparin

open access: yesCells, 2021
Coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2, which is responsible for COVID-19, depend on virus spike protein binding to host cell receptors to cause infection. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds primarily to ACE2 on target cells and is then processed by membrane ...

Prefusion spike protein stabilization through computational mutagenesis [PDF]

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2020
ABSTRACTA novel severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged as a human pathogen, causing global pandemic and resulting in over 400,000 deaths worldwide. The surface spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 mediates the process of coronavirus entry into human cells by binding angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
