The "peplomeric glycoprotein E2 was not detectable upon tunicamycin treatment," indicating its synthesis was interdicted or its degradation was facilitated by lack of N-linked glycosylation and was improperly processed (Holmes et al. (1982) showed swainsonine, an α-mannosidase inhibitor, to inhibit processing of oligosaccharides on influenza viral hemagglutinin, and in 1983 showed its effect on vesicular stomatitis virus (Kang and Elbein 1983) . It seems a reasonable approach that interfering with host glycosylation systems hijacked by SARS COV2, plus interfering with the ACE2 receptor glycosylation may combine to 1) interdict infectivity and 2) glycosylation interference with Sialyl LeX can inhibit E-selectin-based inflammatory responses, mitigating the Covid19 ARDS pathology.
