Viral S protein histochemistry reveals few potential SARS-CoV-2 entry sites in human ocular tissues

Abstract Despite the reported low expression of the primary SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 in distinct ocular tissues, some clinical evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can infect the eye. In this study, we explored potential entry sites for SARS-CoV-2 by viral S protein histochemistry on various ocular tis...
