SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A Virus Coinfections in Ferrets

- 09 Mar 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the effect of coinfection ferret models described in this paper on the ability to prevent the most severe effects of viral coinfections and found that vaccination significantly ameliorated influenza-associated disease by protecting vaccinated animals from severe morbidity after IAV single infection or IAV and SARS-CoV-2 coinfectation.

Common Laboratory Mice Are Susceptible to Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Beta Variant

TL;DR: In this article, the SARS-CoV-2 beta variant attains infectibility to BALB/c mice and causes pulmonary changes within 2-3 days post infection, consistent with results seen in other murine models of COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI

RIG-I-induced innate antiviral immunity protects mice from lethal SARS-CoV-2 infection

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used the K18-hACE2 mouse model to examine whether activation of the antiviral RNA receptor RIG-I protects mice from lethal SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduces disease severity.

RIG-I-induced innate antiviral immunity protects mice from lethal SARS-CoV-2 infection

TL;DR: Results reveal that prophylactic RIG-I activation by synthetic RNA oligonucleotides is a promising strategy to convey short-term, unspecific antiviral protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and may be a suitable broad-spectrum approach to constraining the spread of newly emerging viruses until virus-specific therapies and vaccines become available.

Animal models for studying COVID-19, prevention, and therapy: Pathology and disease phenotypes

TL;DR: An overview of commonly used COVID-19 animal models and the pathologic features of SARS-CoV-2 infection in these models in relation to their clinical presentation in humans is provided.

Autoantibodies against type I IFNs in patients with life-threatening COVID-19.

Paul Bastard, +140 more
- 23 Oct 2020 - 
TL;DR: A means by which individuals at highest risk of life-threatening COVID-19 can be identified is identified, and the hypothesis that neutralizing auto-Abs against type I IFNs may underlie critical CO VID-19 is tested.

SARS-CoV-2 Receptor ACE2 Is an Interferon-Stimulated Gene in Human Airway Epithelial Cells and Is Detected in Specific Cell Subsets across Tissues.

Carly G. K. Ziegler, +135 more
- 28 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 could exploit species-specific interferon-driven upregulation of ACE2, a tissue-protective mediator during lung injury, to enhance infection.
