Isolation, sequence, infectivity and replication kinetics of SARS-CoV-2
Abstract
ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2 emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and has since infected over 1.5 million people, of which over 107,000 have died. As SARS-CoV-2 spreads across the planet, speculations remain about the range of human cells that can be infected by SARS-CoV-2.
