Excited to share our latest work out in @pnas.org! We show that the #SARSCoV2 nucleocapsid protein directly prevents DNA recognition of the immune sensor #cGAS by competing for DNA, which may delay early innate immune responses during infection. www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10.... #innateimmunity

Dresden scientists @thegutmann.bsky.social and @rnadavid.bsky.social from the @hymanlab.bsky.social discover a new strategy used by the SARS-CoV-2 virus to hide from the body’s DNA immune detection system. Now published in @pnas.org. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

How could SARS-COV-2 evade detection by host cells?

Read the new paper from Theresia @thegutmann.bsky.social
and David @rnadavid.bsky.social discussing how the nucleocapsid protein prevents recognition of the innate immunity sensor cGAS

Congratulations!!!
