Show abstract
Human ACE2 (hACE2) is the key cell attachment and entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2, with the original SARS-CoV-2 isolates unable to use mouse ACE2 (mACE2). Herein we describe a new system for generating mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 in vitro by serial passaging virus in co-cultures of cell lines expressing hACE2 and mACE2. Mouse-adapted viruses emerged with up to five amino acid changes in the spike protein, all of which have been seen in human isolates. Mouse-adapted viruses replicated to high titers in C57BL/6J mouse lungs and nasal turbinates, and caused severe lung histopathology. One mouse-adapted virus was also able to replicate efficiently in ACE2-negative cell lines, with ACE2-independent entry by SARS-CoV-2 representing a new biology for SARS-CoV-2 that has potential widespread implications for disease and intervention development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
