Fig. 5. ACE2-mediated infection of SARS-CoV spike (S) protein-expressing cells. Pseudovirions incorporating ACE2 [termed HIV-luc(ACE2)], amphotropic MLV envelope, SARS-CoV S protein, or no surface glycoprotein [termed HIV-luc(bald)] were used to infect 293T cells transfected with empty vector pCDNA3.1 ACE2 or pCAGGS SARS-CoV S. Results are presented on a log10 scale of relative light units and represent the mean of samples run in triplicate (±SD).
