University of Sydney scientists have discovered a protein that blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection and forms a natural protective barrier in the human body.
The naturally occurring protein, LRRC15, works by attaching itself to the virus, preventing it binding with more vulnerable cells and reducing the chance of infection.
The research opens up an entirely new area of immunology research around the receptor and offers a promising pathway to develop new drugs, the team behind the study said.
The newly discovered protein could be part of our body's natural response to combating COVID-19
