SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 is a viral cytokine regulating immune responses

2022-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Many patients with severe COVID-19 suffer from pneumonia, and thus elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the development of such severe pneumonia is important. The ORF8 protein is a secreted protein of SARS-CoV-2, whose in vivo function is not well understood. Here, we analyzed the function of ORF8 protein by generating ORF8-knockout SARS-CoV-2. We found that the lung inflammation observed in wild-type SARS-CoV...
