Popis: Various forms of PVs have been used as tools to evaluate vaccine efficacy and study virus entry steps. When PV infectivity is inherently low, such as that of SARS-CoV-2, a CT-truncated version of the viral entry glycoprotein is widely used to enhance PV infectivity, but the mechanism underlying this enhanced PV infectivity has been unclear.
