SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein expresses highly during infection, inducing strong antibody and T cell responses. Until recently, scientist thought that the N protein was exclusively localized intracellularly 

In this webinar brought to you by Sartorius, Alberto Lopez-Munoz will discuss how Bio-Layer Interferometry on the Octet platform facilitated the molecular mechanism characterization behind N protein surface binding, uncovering its functions in host innate immunity to SARS-CoV-2.

Topics to be covered

  • Cell surface SARS-CoV-2 N protein expression characterization
  • Glycosaminoglycans as mediators of surface N protein binding
  • Extracellular N protein-mediated immunomodulation
