A cell-free platform to measure coronavirus membrane fusion

Summary: Here we present a protocol to measure coronavirus-mediated membrane fusion, an essential event in coronavirus cell entry. The approach uses nanoluciferase (Nluc) “HiBiT”-tagged corona virus-like particles (VLPs) and Nluc “LgBiT”-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) as proxies for virus a...
