Cell Surface SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein Modulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity
2021-12-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N) induces strong antibody and T cell responses. Although considered to be localized in the cytosol, we readily detect N on the surface of live cells. N released by SARS-CoV-2 infected cells or N-expressing transfected cells binds to neighboring cells by electrostatic high-affinity binding to heparan sulfate and heparin, but not other sulfated glycosaminoglycans....
