Title: How similar is the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to other coronavirus spike proteins?
Post by: nudephil on 17/12/2020 18:07:30

Jennifer sent us this:

Can you please share with me the difference or similarities in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1 spike proteins? Are their similarities in their amino acid sequence that would allow the immune system to recognize them as the same?
