    Snippet: However, we showed that in ACE2 proteins, mice and rats are the only mammals that have different amino acids in the two virus-binding hotspots from humans, which is consistent with previous in vitro virus infection experiments 2 . Moreover, ACE2 was barely expressed in any of the cell types in murine lungs. Thus, both observations argue against using mice as the optimal animal model for studying coronavirus related diseases......
