This includes the nucleocapsid (N) protein, which packages viral genetic material and helps suppress the host immune system, allowing the virus to replicate undisturbed. Yaron et al. show that ...

A new preprint study published in the medRxiv* preprint server found that nucleocapsid antigen in the blood (antigenemia) is a sensitive and specific biomarker for acute coronavirus disease 2019 ...

A recent paper by Syed et al. demonstrates that mutations in the Nucleocapsid (N) protein, one of the four structural proteins in SARS-CoV-2 in addition to the Spike protein, plays a critical role ...

A team of scientists from the University of Illinois and Northwestern University, Chicago, USA, has recently investigated and compared the efficacy of spike-based and nucleocapsid-based ...

Baseline antibody status was determined by anti-spike (primary analysis) and anti-nucleocapsid IgG assays, and staff members were followed for up to 31 weeks. We estimated the relative incidence ...

At first glance, the Ebola virus nucleocapsid looks like a coiled telephone cord. Watanabe revealed the stages of coiling and compression of the coil. She also discovered that the nucleocapsid's ...

COVID-19 infection didn't appear to precipitate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in kids, a prospective multinational cohort study suggested. Researchers tested more than 4,500 adolescents every few ...

Some detect the presence of antibodies against the spike (S) protein, while others detect antibodies against the nucleocapsid (N) protein. Technology Networks spoke to Dr Iswariya Venkataraman, ...

In a small study of patients hospitalized due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, researchers report distinct early differences between the antibody responses of patients who recovered and those who died, ...

The Ebola virus (EBOV) causes lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans, with extremely high morbidity and mortality. It was first discovered in two simultaneous outbreaks near the Ebola River in sub ...
