Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology have developed six lines of humanized mice that can serve as valuable models for studying human cases of COVID-19 .

The new mouse models can shed light on how SARS-CoV-2 moves through the body and why different people experience wildly different symptoms.

New mouse models may prove valuable for studying emerging responses to emerging Sars-Coaviruses with pandemic potential.

"Not only are these models useful for current COVID-19 studies, but if there should be another coronavirus pandemic -- with a virus that utilizes the same ACE2 receptor and/or TMPRSS2 molecule for viral entry into human cells -- then these mouse lines will be ready," says Kim .
