Article Title: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with anti-desmoglein 2 autoantibody detection
Journal: Clinical and Experimental Immunology
doi: 10.1093/cei/uxad046
Figure Legend Snippet: Desmosome proteins detected in serum following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Detection of ( A ) desmoplakin (DSP, *** P = 0.0004), ( B ) junction plakoglobin (JUP), and ( C ) desmoglein 2 (DSG2, ** P = 0.0051) protein by ELISA. Results are expressed as median concentration with interquartile range, and all groups are statistically not significant from healthy controls unless annotated.
Techniques Used: Infection, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Concentration Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Desmoglein 2 IgG autoantibody concentrations are higher in patients post-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Detection of desmoglein 2 autoantibodies in COVID-19 cohorts by ELISA; convalescent COVID Intensive therapy unit (ITU), acute COVID ITU, and mild COVID convalescent, compared with non-COVID control cohorts; non-COVID ITU, Influenza (flu) ITU, and healthy controls ( N = 252, P < 0.0001). The flu ITU, non-COVID ITU, and mild COVID convalescent cohorts were all not statistically significant compared to healthy controls. Results are expressed as median OD (optical density) with interquartile range. Figure in brackets indicates number of sera per group. **** indicates a significant difference between groups at a P value of <0.0001.
Techniques Used: Infection, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: Immunohistochemical staining of post-mortem cardiac tissue. ( A ) Non-COVID-19 post-mortem heart tissue shows uniform single-banded staining for DSG2 corresponding to the site of intercalated discs (these are indicated by black arrows). ( B ) Cardiac muscle from COVID-19 post-mortem cases showed areas of single and notable double banded staining for DSG2 (arrowed). ( C ) Post-mortem heart tissue from a non-COVID-19 patient stained for IgG deposition. ( D ) Post-mortem heart tissue from a COVID-19 patient demonstrating IgG deposition at intercalated discs. Images representative of 3 hearts from non-COVID-19 patients and 8 patients who died from COVID-19.
Techniques Used: Immunohistochemical staining, Staining
