Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine Vero cells constitutively expressing TMPRSS2 show larger syncytia at 18 h after infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus MERS-CoV than after infection with other coronaviruses. The susceptibility of Vero-TMPRSS2 cells to MERS-CoV is 100fold higher than that of non-TMPRSS2-expressing parental Vero cells. Simultaneous treatment with inhibitors of cathepsin L and TMPRSS2 completely blocks virus entry into Vero-TMPRSS2 cells. A single camostat treatment suppresses MERS-CoV entry into human bronchial submucosal gland-derived Calu-3 cells by 10fold and virus growth by 270fold Homo sapiens
