Peptide Tools to Study Coronaviruses
About Coronaviruses
The coronavirus family comprises several viruses such as
- Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)
- Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
- Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS)
- Common cold coronaviruses HCoV 229E, OC43, HKU1 and NL63
- Various animal coronaviruses
Coronaviruses have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and characteristic spikes on their surface, which create an image reminding of the solar corona.
The spikes are composed of Spike proteins (S protein) which contain two subunits. Subunit S1 forms the spike head with the receptor binding domain (RBD). Subunit S2 forms the stem and enables fusion with the host cell. S1 proteins are the most variable components of the virus as they are responsible for host cell specificity.
Spike protein, membrane protein (M) and envelope protein (E) are anchored in the viral envelope, a lipid bilayer.
JPT's Peptide Tools to Study Coronaviruses
JPT is an expert for manufacturing a wide variety of synthetic peptide formats for research and clinical applications in the development of immunotherapy and vaccines and immune monitoring. Our researchers constantly develop new products for well-known infectious diseases such as HIV, TB or HBV as well as newly emerging diseases such as MERS, SARS and COVID-19.
We have broadened our portfolio of coronavirus related products beyond SARS-CoV-2, including products and services for SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and common cold viruses CoV 229E, OC43, HKU1 and NL63.
