近日有急凍雞翼及其他產品被測量出擁有武肺存在,但武肺能否在雞翼或其他食物上大量繁殖呢?842Please respect copyright.PENANAeXeGCEq5OC
842Please respect copyright.PENANA6C01bQJ489
答案是,不可以。842Please respect copyright.PENANAklvxeyP2pr
842Please respect copyright.PENANASZT9qrrBUb
武肺進行大量繁殖的話,必需要借助活生生的細胞幫忙,而其中先決的一步就是要進入細胞體內。842Please respect copyright.PENANAnIG44ME1ST

武肺可否入侵細胞,基本上視乎可唔可以達成下列3個條件。842Please respect copyright.PENANALXxNdM1z6E

1. S protein與細胞表面的ACE2觸碰。842Please respect copyright.PENANAYX3vHseLLp
842Please respect copyright.PENANAJX6K5yObI7
2. 細胞表面ACE2與S protein的形狀吻合,亦即是「啱嘴形」。842Please respect copyright.PENANAnUQtVUcn8y
842Please respect copyright.PENANA6niw3xPqsu
3. 細胞表面擁有TMPRSS2蛋白質,能夠對S protein進行切割。842Please respect copyright.PENANAeumDZze5EK
842Please respect copyright.PENANASGswxcGHqZ
滿足3大條件後,病毒就有能力能夠入侵細胞。842Please respect copyright.PENANATywudf992w
當然,入侵細胞後還有很多因素決定武肺能否大量繁殖,但急凍雞翼連活生生的細胞也沒有,根本無可能可以大量繁殖。842Please respect copyright.PENANAyVJBVQNO7Z

何謂S protein和ACE2,可到我之前所寫的文章溫故知新。842Please respect copyright.PENANAdB9GIstPXw

第二點所謂的「啱嘴型」,所指的就是ACE2的形狀能否與武肺的S protein形狀吻合,就好像砌Puzzle一樣,兩者不吻合的話就無法連結一起,勉強亦無幸福。842Please respect copyright.PENANAW2ELDmPPhp
842Please respect copyright.PENANAUjAi2oxyOB
如圖中所見,正因為老鼠ACE2唔啱嘴型,所以武肺無法引致老鼠患上肺炎等病徵,袁教授等人因此亦改用啱嘴型的倉鼠作為武肺的動物實驗模型。842Please respect copyright.PENANAR8IrSAiUj8
842Please respect copyright.PENANAQRMUOZtjHf
(Ref 1)有科學家嘗試將武肺打落豬、雞和鴨身上,最終無法在牠們的任何器官身上找到武肺,而且亦沒有出現任何病徵,因此斷定牠們並不會受到武肺感染。842Please respect copyright.PENANA18seUUOvoZ

關於第三點,肺(Lung)及腎臟(Kidney)同樣擁有一定數量的ACE2及TMPRSS2(Ref2),因此將會成為武肺的主要針對對象。842Please respect copyright.PENANANvFaUWgisi
842Please respect copyright.PENANAdt2T8FSyyi
而心臟(Heart) 同樣擁有一定數量的ACE2,某程度亦解釋了為何武肺患者康復後會被發現心臟出現異樣。842Please respect copyright.PENANA5gL7W56ADG
842Please respect copyright.PENANAIMM4IKEy7o
842Please respect copyright.PENANApH4IT4EjFO
而男性器官睪丸(Testis),亦是ACE2數量較多的器官(圖中沒有列出),所以,嗯......842Please respect copyright.PENANAV9NlBRqnMv
