A novel luciferase-based assay for quantifying coronavirus-induced syncytia

Abstract Coronaviruses can induce cell‒cell fusion that results in the formation of multinucleated syncytia through the interaction of viral spike proteins with host cell receptors. Quantifying syncytial formation is crucial for screening potential efficacious antiviral compounds. However, some trad...
