They then exposed both cell types to SARS-CoV-2. Surprisingly, a lack of ACE2 receptors decreased SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Caco2 control cells but had no effect on infection in the Jurkat cells.

Two close bat virus relatives of the MERS coronavirus can efficiently use ACE2 orthologs and human ACE2 as entry receptors through their spike proteins.
