Antiviral activity of plant juices and green tea against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus in vitro

This study evaluates the antiviral effects of plant juices and green tea against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus in vitro, finding that chokeberry juice inactivates SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus, while other products show limited efficacy.

Imperfect innate immune antagonism renders SARS-CoV-2 vulnerable towards IFN-γ and -{lambda}

This study identifies SARS-CoV-2's vulnerability to IFN-γ and -λ due to its inefficient antagonism of type I and II IFN responses, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies.

An enzyme-based immunodetection assay to quantify SARS-CoV-2 infection

This paper introduces an enzyme-based immunodetection assay to quantify SARS-CoV-2 infection by measuring viral spike protein expression in cell cultures.

IFITM proteins promote SARS-CoV-2 infection and are targets for virus inhibition

This study shows that IFITM proteins are required for SARS-CoV-2 infection and can be targeted to inhibit viral entry and replication.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection

The paper identifies 1-antitrypsin as a specific inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2, showing it blocks viral infection of human airway epithelium at physiological concentrations.

Holder Pasteurization Inactivates SARS-CoV-2 in Human Breast Milk

This study shows that Holder pasteurization inactivates SARS-CoV-2 in human breast milk, offering a safe method for infected mothers to breastfeed.

Remdesivir but not famotidine inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in human pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal organoids

This study uses human intestinal organoids to show that remdesivir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication, while famotidine does not.

The Zinc Finger Antiviral Protein restricts SARS-CoV-2

This paper identifies ZAP as an IFN-induced antiviral effector that restricts SARS-CoV-2 by targeting CpG dinucleotides, though SARS-CoV-2 may be adapted to low CpG environments.
