hiya, what is the spike and why do they want our cells to make it? The ‘spike’ protein is said to have molecular weight of 78.3kDa (6) by some, others 180kDa and 90 KDa reflecting uncleaved and cleaved (7) and by others (8) between 486 and 493KDa which was larger than their expected 420kDa, based on the amino acid sequence, though it was…
hiya, what is the spike and why do they want our cells to make it? The ‘spike’ protein is said to have molecular weight of 78.3kDa (6) by some, others 180kDa and 90 KDa reflecting uncleaved and cleaved (7) and by others (8) between 486 and 493KDa which was larger than their expected 420kDa, based on the amino acid sequence, though it was thought to contain additional glycans. The spike has been claimed to be produced by cell cultures since the 1990’s (9), this time with an apparent monomer weight of 170- 230KDa. However big it is, it is not novel.
The proteins said to be the core proteins of HIV turned out to be polymers of cellular proteins for example in 1989 the “HIV” proteins p120 (thought to be the HIV knob/spike protein-allegedly essential for entry into the cell) and p160 were shown to be polymers of the p41/42 protein (which is the cellular protein actin)(10). I am certain that this is what is happening with the spike protein. There is no novel protein and what is being detected are polymers of cellular proteins.

I'm interested to know of other research.
