Potential therapeutic approaches have been proposed to target various steps in the viral infectious process, including a SARS-CoV-2 S-protein-based vaccine, a TMPRSS2 inhibitor aiming to block the priming of the viral S protein, an anti-ACE2 antibody to block the surface receptor, and a soluble ACE2 analogue which competitively binds with SARS-CoV-2 to slow viral entry into cells and decrease viral spread [27] . receptor, which may also be associated with the antiviral immune response Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), also known as CD26, is a 110 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of a wide variety of epithelial cells and some lymphocytes. ./cache/cord-271723-8qoozmgk.txt ./txt/cord-271723-8qoozmgk.txt
