Evaluation of K18- hACE2 Mice as a Model of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Murine models of SARS-CoV-2 infection are critical for elucidating the biological pathways underlying COVID-19. Because human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, mice expressing the human gene have shown promise as a potential model for COVID-19. Five mice from the...
