T224 |
0-112 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Lactoferrin clearly has immunological benefits, as well as having an important antibacterial and antiviral role. |
T225 |
113-281 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Because it is known to interfere with some of the receptors used by coronaviruses, it may contribute usefully to the prevention and treatment of coronavirus infections. |
T226 |
282-365 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Figure 6 shows a possible scheme on how LF might interfere with SARS-CoV-2 binding. |
T227 |
366-493 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The binding of LF to HSPGs prevents the first contact between virus and host cells and thus prevents subsequent infection (99). |
T228 |
494-549 |
Sentence |
denotes |
HSPGs themselves are not sufficient for SARS-CoV entry. |
T229 |
550-650 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, in SARS-CoV infections, the HSPGs play an important role in the process of cell entry (99). |
T230 |
651-802 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The anchoring sites provided by HSPGs permit initial contact between the virus and host cells and the concentration of virus particles on cell surface. |
T231 |
803-943 |
Sentence |
denotes |
SARS-CoV bound to HSPGs then rolls onto the cell membrane and scans for specific entry receptors, which leads to subsequent cell entry (99). |
T232 |
944-1133 |
Sentence |
denotes |
LF enhances natural killer cell activity and stimulates neutrophil aggregation and adhesion in immune defense (135) and can restrict the entry of the virus into host cells during infection. |
T233 |
1134-1302 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We suggest that this process might be the same for COVID-19 (see Figure 6 for a visual representation), thereby offering useful strategies for prevention and treatment. |
T234 |
1303-1413 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Currently, there is also a renewed interest in ACE2 and HSPG blocking, as discussed in the introduction (5–8). |
T235 |
1414-1568 |
Sentence |
denotes |
LF may therefore be an excellent supplement to take, not only as a contribution to prevention but perhaps as a therapy in the event COVID-19 is diagnosed. |
