The RBD of SARS-CoV-2 shares sequence similarity with an ancient lectin family known to bind blood group antigens. SARS-CoV-2 RBD binds the blood group A expressed on respiratory epithelial cells, directly linking blood group A and SARS-CoV-2.
SARS-CoV-2 的 RBD 与已知结合血型抗原的古老凝集素家族具有序列相似性。SARS-CoV-2 的 RBD 结合呼吸道上皮细胞上表达的血型 A,直接将血型 A 与 SARS-CoV-2 联系起来。
