Results: The fusion protein significantly blocked SARS-CoV-2 alpha, beta, delta, gamma, and omicron S-proteins binding and activating angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor-2 (ACE2) on ACE2-expressing RAW-Blue macrophage cells and the secretion of several key inflammatory cytokines, G-CSF, MIP-1A, and MCP-1, implicated in the cytokine release storm (CRS). Here, CCL2 is linked to congenital rubella syndrome.
