Sensing of cytoplasmic chromatin by cGAS activates innate immune response in SARS-CoV-2 infection
2021-02-23
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a positive-sense RNA virus. How the host immune system senses and responds to SARS-CoV-2 infection remain to be determined. Here, we report that SARS-CoV-2 infection activates the innate immune response through the cytosolic DNA sensing cGAS-STING pathway. S...
