Journal ArticleDOI

The Upper Respiratory Tract of Felids Is Highly Susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

TL;DR: In this paper, primary cell cultures derived from the nose, trachea, and lungs of cat and lion were inoculated with SARS-CoV-2, and strong viral replication was observed for nasal mucosa explants and tracheal air-liquid interface cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Augmented neutralization of SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron variant by boost vaccination and monoclonal antibodies

TL;DR: There is compelling evidence that the third vaccination with BNT162b2 increases the amount of neutralizing serum antibodies against Delta and Omicron variants, albeit to a lower degree when compared to the parental Wuhan strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for an ACE2-Independent Entry Pathway That Can Protect from Neutralization by an Antibody Used for COVID-19 Therapy

TL;DR: It is suggested that the naturally occurring mutation E484D allows SARS-CoV-2 to employ an ACE2-independent mechanism for entry that is largely insensitive against Imdevimab, an antibody employed for COVID-19 therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects of thiol drugs in COVID-19

TL;DR: Thiol drugs decrease SARS-CoV-2 lung inflammation and injury and it is speculated that the concentration of cysteamine achieved in the lungs with IP delivery was insufficient for antiviral effects but sufficient for anti-inflammatory effects.
