Cellular Receptors and their Associated Factors for SARS-CoV-۲ Entry Designing Susceptible Cells: A review

SARS-CoV-۲, the causative agent of COVID-۱۹, emerged in late ۲۰۱۹ and rapidly evolved into a significant global health crisis, impacting millions of individuals worldwide. Like other respiratory viruses, SARS-CoV-۲ depends on specific cellular receptors to infiltrate host cells and initiate the infection process. To effectively combat this virus, it is essential to thoroughly understand the intricate interactions between viral attachment factors and these cellular receptors. This analysis explores the various cellular receptors involved in the infection process of SARS-CoV-۲ and examines the complex interactions between the virus and its host cells. We emphasize the critical components that facilitate the virus's entry into host cells and consider potential strategies to modify receptor expression, thereby enhancing susceptibility to infection. Gaining insights into these receptors and their associated components is vital for developing effective animal models, which can significantly aid in research efforts. Ultimately, this understanding will contribute to the creation of targeted therapeutic interventions and preventive measures against COVID-۱۹ and similar viral infections.
