To investigate whether scFv 23F-425 could serve as an adapter molecule for FIPV and fMHV infection via human EGFR, cultures of human cancer cell lines of different tissue origin with confirmed expression of EGFR ( Figure 4 ) were inoculated with similar amounts of FIPV or fMHV in the presence or absence of the bispecific antibody. Inoculation of Targeting non-human coronaviruses to human cancer cells T Würdinger et al FIPV and fMHV onto a number of different EGFRexpressing human cancer cell lines of various tissue origins in the presence of scFv 23F-425 resulted in infection, replication, and subsequent formation of syncytia. ./cache/cord-312247-cza4qsv5.txt ./txt/cord-312247-cza4qsv5.txt
