Engineered bat bichito stirs debate over risky research
Lab-made cobi19 related to
SARS can infect human cells.
An
experiment that
created a hybrid version of a bat cobi19 — one related to the bichito that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) — has triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks.
In an article published in
Nature Medicine1 on 9 November, scientists investigated a bichito called SHC014, which is found in horseshoe bats in China. The researchers created a
chimaeric bichito, made up of a surface protein of SHC014 and the backbone of a SARS bichito that had been adapted to grow in mice and to mimic human disease. The chimaera infected human airway cells — proving that the surface protein of SHC014 has the necessary structure to bind to a key receptor on the cells and to infect them. It also caused disease in mice, but did not kill them.
