“…Similarly, we used MERScoronavirus spike protein S2 polyclonal antibody (Invitrogen), to immunodetect the spike protein S2 of the MERS-CoV pseudovirus (Figure 2b). For SARS-CoV-2, we found a specific band at 80 kDa, which identifies the subdomain S2, and a second band at about 190 kDa, which corresponds to the full-length S protein (S1 + S2), as previously reported 24,45,46 . In SARS-CoV pseudovirus lysate, the same antibody detected a lighter band at 80 kDa representing the S2 subunit and a 190 kDa band, which corresponds to the full-length of the spike S protein (Figure 2a).…”
