Dodging COVID-19 Infection: Low Expression and Localization of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in Multiple Donor-Derived Lines of Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Expression of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) and TMPRSS2 was analyzed in 24 lots of human umbilical cord-MSCs derived from Wharton’s jelly via quantitative PCR, Western Blot, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry using 24 different donors.
