Binding of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein to uninfected epithelial cells induces antibody-mediated complement deposition

2024-03-18

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers strong antibody response toward Nucleocapsid-Protein (NP), suggesting extracellular presence beyond its intra-virion RNA binding. Interestingly, NP was found to decorate infected and proximal uninfected cell-surfaces. Here, we propose a new mechanism through which extracellular NP on uninfected cells contributes to COVID-19 pathogenicity. We show that NP binds to cell-surface sulfated...
