  • PAIRED-CELL PROFILING SYSTEMS FOR HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREENING SYNCYTIUM FORMATION
    Publication number: 20240255506
    Abstract: Provided is a high throughput screening method for identifying cell fusion or syncytium formation potential. In particular, the cell fusion or syncytium formation potential of a viral spike protein. Also provided is a method for identifying a cellular factor that promotes spike protein-induced syncytium formation. Also provided is a method of inhibiting or suppressing syncytium formation induced by a viral spike protein.
