Gene Synthesis Western Blot Analysis of S Protein Expression: The coding sequences of the S protein for BA.2.12.1, BA.4/5, or XBB.1.5 variants with various CAIs were synthesized by GenScript (Nanjing, China) and cloned into the pcDNA 3.1 plasmid between the Hind III and Xba I sites. Get A Quote

摘要

The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has progressed into a global pandemic. To date, thousands of genetic variants have been identified among SARS-CoV-2 isolates collected from patients. Sequence analysis reveals that the codon adaptation index (CAI) values of viral sequences have decreased over time but with occasional fluctuations. Through evolution modeling, it is found that this phenomenon may result from the virus's mutation preference during transmission. Using dual-luciferase assays, it is further discovered that the deoptimization of codons in the viral sequence may weaken protein expression during virus evolution, indicatin... More
