SARS-CoV-2 Induces Expression of Cytokine and MUC5AC/5B in Human Nasal Epithelial Cell through ACE 2 Receptor
Figure 3
The effects of spike protein RBD on MUC5AC/5B expression in the cultured human nasal epithelial cell. Spike protein RBD significantly increased MUC5AC/5B mRNA expression in real-time PCR (a) and protein production in ELISA (b). Three independent experiments were performed. Bars represent the in triplicate. indicates significance of compared with zero value. Sp. RBD: spike protein receptor binding domain; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
