Role of IgG against N-protein of SARS-CoV2 in COVID19 clinical outcomes

Abstract The Nucleocapsid Protein (N Protein) of severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is located in the viral core. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) targeting N protein is detectable in the serum of infected patients. The effect of high titers of IgG against N-protein on clinical outcom...

We also measured serum IgG against the N protein and correlated its concentrations with clinical outcomes.
