Remodeling host glycome alters binding between host cells and spike protein RBD. 2F-Fucose (Fucosyltransferase Inhibitor); 3-F-Sia (Sialyltransferase Inhibitor). (A) Immunofluorescence for S protein RBD binding with modified HepG2 cells. The columns (from left to right) show staining of nuclear acid (Hoechst 33342), plasma membrane (CellMask™ Deep Red), S protein RBD, and merged image. Scale bar, 600 pixels. (B) Quantification of fluorescent intensity of spike protein RBD binding. Fluorescence intensity was quantified for selected cell area. Quantification was performed with software ImageJ. Asterisks indicate the statistical significance between groups compared (*p< 0.05%; **p< 0.01%; ***p< 0.001%; ns p < 0.05).
