Macrophages, DCs, 293T and Vero cells were harvested, incubated for 30 min with 20% (v/v) goat serum, and then stained for 45 min on ice with a mouse monoclonal anti-ACE2 antibody. Cells were washed twice with the binding buffer and then incubated with the myc antibody followed by goat anti-mouse IgG and analyzed by flow cytometry as above. To examine whether S-protein expressed in this study is recognized by ACE2, Vero cells were incubated with the purified S-protein and bound S-protein was detected by flow cytometry using a myc antibody. Blocking of Binding of S-protein to macrophages and DCs: (A) macrophages and DCs were cultured from monocytes and, upon washing, incubated with a mouse anti-human ACE2 monoclonal antibody (solid lines) or, as a control, isotype IgG (solid histograms). ./cache/cord-269465-3fdjqnhb.txt ./txt/cord-269465-3fdjqnhb.txt
