Neutrophil elastase decreases SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding to human bronchial epithelia by clipping ACE-2 ectodomain from the epithelial surface

Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have decreased severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome-like coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, but the underlying cause is unknown. Patients with CF have high levels of neutrophil elastase (NE) in the airway. We examined whether respiratory epithelial ang...
