Probably with this reason and since BOA binds glycans on multiple Spike proteins, possibly crosslinking different Spike proteins on a single virion or crosslinking Spike proteins on different virions, BOA lectin could inhibit various VOCs of SARS-CoV-2 infection effectively.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin_EC50_SARS-CoV-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"552\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin_EC50_SARS-CoV-2.png 552w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin_EC50_SARS-CoV-2-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin_EC50_SARS-CoV-2-550x245.png 550w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin_EC50_SARS-CoV-2-230x102.png 230w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin_EC50_SARS-CoV-2-350x155.png 350w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin_EC50_SARS-CoV-2-480x213.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Actually, BOA contains two domains and therefore four glycan binding sites, and makes interviron and intraviron crosslinkings as show below.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-300x135.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-600x270.png 600w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-1024x461.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-768x346.png 768w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-1000x450.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-230x104.png 230w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-350x158.png 350w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes-480x216.png 480w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BOA-lectin-binds-glycans-on-multiple-spikes.png 1030w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group from Department of Structural Biology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh PA, USA<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/en\/burkholderia-oklahomensis-agglutinin-boa-lectin-effectively-inhibits-all-variants-of-concern-of-sars-cov-2\/\" class=\"home-blog-btn\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12112"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12115,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12112\/revisions\/12115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
