An international scientific research has concluded that the SARS-COV-2 virus can infect and expand better in the respiratory tract thanks to lectins, some molecules present in the membrane of some cells of the immune system.
The conclusions of the study, led by the San Francisco VIR Biotechnology Research Center and in which the Irsicaixa Institute and the Animal Health Research Center (CRESA) of the Agricultural Institute of Research and Technology (IRTA) have been published In Nature magazine, reports EFE.
The work has demonstrated the influence of the lectins at the entrance of SARS-COV-2 to target cells and, therefore, in the dissemination of the infection caused by this virus, thus showing one of the mechanisms employed by this coronavirus To expand more easily in the respiratory tract.
The results also suggest that lectins can modulate the capacity of the antibodies to block the virus and thus avoid the infection, a discovery that must be taken into account when designing future therapeutic strategies with monoclonal antibodies.
In order to be able to infect, the SARS-COV-2 must be joined to a protein located on the outside of the host cell, called ACE2, which acts as a virus receptor and allows its entry.

It is triggered by an acute bacterial or viral infection. Since the beginning of the pandemic, doctors have reported over 90 diagnoses of Guillain-Barré after possible infection by Covid-19. However, it is not clear whether Covid-19 is another possible infectious trigger or if the notified cases are coincident.
