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?1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkMr0c4Hgp5
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuq1llBW2fS
答案是,不可以。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHzOCBebtPh
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUsOLFkW1Fh
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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhEakk4pYAd

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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPU0KcoOhQH

1. S protein與細胞表面的ACE2觸碰。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnLH8AJ1GpD
1005Please respect copyright.PENANALnFDOGrA6g
2. 細胞表面ACE2與S protein的形狀吻合,亦即是「啱嘴形」。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJEFNpp4GSl
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnR2tPolHvH
3. 細胞表面擁有TMPRSS2蛋白質,能夠對S protein進行切割。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoXvzArZ4Lg
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmcczxTGGKc
滿足3大條件後,病毒就有能力能夠入侵細胞。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUzwQXxtoeS
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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqooQhgrzu3

何謂S protein和ACE2,可到我之前所寫的文章溫故知新。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAam35nkMIPC

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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEs7KhQl4rS
1005Please respect copyright.PENANASfdUI3z9Em
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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7dQkzGOv0c
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnSAy7NLQE0
(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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANA95rEYba8g31005Please respect copyright.PENANA8MkWeVLsjQ

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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqGQuGdEXa8
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQeZl1iGI9K
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。1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxrKffbSTtF
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAefHowGtqSj
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAywuZmZRIh8
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......1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKu94KcZieu
