Lentivirus

The pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As the first step of viral replication, the virus attaches to the host cell surface before entering the cell. The viral Spike protein recognizes and attaches to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor found on the surface of type I and II pneumocytes, endothelial cells, and ciliated bronchial epithelial cells. Drugs targeting the interaction between the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 may offer protection against the viral infection. <br />The SARS-CoV-2 Spike Pseudotyped Lentivirus (Luc-eGFP dual reporter) were produced by replacing the VSV-G fusion glycoprotein with SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (Genbank Accession #QHD43416.1) as a surrogate viral envelope protein. These pseudovirions also contain a firefly luciferase and eGFP cassette (Luc-P2A-eGFP) driven by a CMV promoter. The luciferase and eGFP are coexpressed under the CMV promoter in the tran

Drugs targeting the interaction between the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 may offer protection against the viral infection. A variant called B.1.1.529 (also known as the Omicron Variant) was identified in South Africa in November of 2021. This variant has a large number of mutations that allow the virus to spread more easily and quickly than other variants. The Spike (B.1.1.529 Variant) (SARS-CoV-2) Pseudotyped Lentivirus were produced with SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 Variant Spike (Genbank Accession #QHD43416.1 with B.1.1.529 mutations; see
