Paper Authors Beijing Advanced Innovation Center Beijing University of Chemical Technology, The Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China. Medical School, Nanjing University, China (including a doctor trained by the Chinese military, Yigang Tong) Purpose of study Assessed virus pathogenicity Risk 100% IFR underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans, and provides a unique model for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses. Details GX_P2V isolate was actually a cell culture-adapted mutant In this study, we cloned this mutant This is not a wild type virus It is possible that GX_P2V C7 has undergone a virulence-enhancing mutation. GX_P2V is capable of rapid mutation rates. High viral loads detected in both lung and brain tissues. Surprisingly, all the mice that were infected with the live virus succumbed to the infection within 7-8 days post-inoculation, Resulted in 100% mortality in the hACE2 mice. Clinical features Weight loss, Piloerection, hunched posture, sluggish movements, and their eyes turned white. Significant amounts of viral RNA in the brain, lung, turbina…
