Specific Matrix on the Basis of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2: Development and Functional Analysis
摘要
In this study, an affinity matrix based on recombinant human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) immobilized on a porous polymeric substrate was developed and characterized. The matrix efficiently binds viral particles pseudotyped with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. These findings highlight the prospects for creating novel affinity matrices for extracorporeal hemoperfusion aimed at reducing viral load in patients with high viremia and severe COVID-19.
