How does SARS-CoV-2 evade Immune Response?
Recent studies on SARS-CoV-2 evaluating evasion of immune response reveal several SARS-CoV-2 proteins which manipulate host response in favor of virus proliferation. Compared with other virus-related respiratory diseases, the IFN-I and IFN-III signaling is more efficiently suppressed. This ultimatively leads to low interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) responses with impact on viral transmission and pathogenesis.¹ Interferon Antagonism of SARS-CoV-2 Proteins according to Xia et al. ² Selection of Interferon Antagonism Antibodies |
