Data, reagents, assays and merits of proteomics for SARS-CoV-2 research and testing

As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to spread, thousands of scientists around the globe have changed research direction to understand better how the virus works and to find out how it may be tackled. To facilitate proteomic research on SARS-CoV-2, we presents deep-scale proteomes of common cell line models (Calu-3, Caco-2, ACE2 transfected A549 and Vero E6) and monitors changes of the proteome upon viral infection in Vero E6 cells. We provide high quality proteome expression data that can be used to refine the annotation of protein coding regions of the Vero E6 cell line genome. Further, we generated spectral libraries that can be used DIA cell line experiments or PRM assays of SARS-CoV-2 proteins.
