SARS-CoV-2 disrupts host epigenetic regulation via histone mimicry – Nature

A549ACE cells ACE2-expressing A549 cells were generated as previously described3. A549ACE2 cells were grown in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin and were maintained free of mycoplasma. Cells were infected at an MOI of 1 and fixed or lysed at 24 or 48 h after infection. HEK293T cells HEK293T cells were obtained from the American Type … Read more
