    Abstract

    BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a newly emerged infection from the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Apart from the respiratory system, it is unclear whether SARS-CoV-2 can also directly infect other tissues such as the kidney or induce acute renal failure. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), plasma creatinine, and urea concentrations along with other clinical parameters from 85 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 admitted to a hospital in Wuhan from January 17, 2020 to March 3, 2020.

We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of serological assay for SARS-CoV-2. Methods A newly-developed ELISA assay for IgM and IgG antibodies against N protein of SARS-CoV-2 were used to screen the serums of 238 admitted hospital patients with confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection from February 6 to February 14, 2020. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected by real time RT-PCR on pharyngeal swab specimens. Findings Of the 238 patients, 194 (81.5%) were detected to be antibody (IgM and/or IgG) positive, which was significantly higher than the positive rate of viral RNA (64.3%). *注,本文为预印本论文手稿,是未经同行评审的初步报告,其观点仅供科研同行交流,并不是结论性内容,请使用者谨慎使用.

Sidhu doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.05.137349 Abstract Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of enveloped, RNA viruses that circulate in mammals and birds but have crossed the species barrier to infect humans seven times. Of these, three pathogenic strains have caused zoonotic infections in humans that result in severe respiratory syndromes including the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV), and now SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses, the latter of which is the cause of the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here, we describe a panel of synthetic monoclonal antibodies, built on a human framework, that bind SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, compete for binding with ACE2, and potently inhibit infection by SARS-CoV-2. These antibodies were found to have a range of neutralization potencies against live virus infection in Vero E6 cells, potently inhibiting authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus at sub-nanomolar concentrations. These antibodies represent strong immunotherapeutic candidates for treatment of COVID-19. Competing Interest Statement S.S, P.P.P and S.J, are cofounders of Virna Therapeutics.
