In SARS-CoV infection, viroporin 3a has also been shown to trigger the activation of NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor protein 3) inflammasome and the secretion of IL-1b in bone marrowderived macrophages, suggesting the induction of cell pyroptosis , which can cause the release of large amounts of proinflammatory factors (Fink and Cookson 2005) . However, previous studies in animal models have shown that in SARS-CoV infection, such anti-S protein-neutralizing antibodies (anti-S-IgG) can also cause severe lung injury by altering inflammatory responses (Liu et al. This animal study suggests that despite viral suppression, the presence of anti-spike protein antibody at the acute stage of SARS-CoV infection can actually cause severe acute lung injury that persists until the late stages. ./cache/cord-261415-qxl14j2m.txt ./txt/cord-261415-qxl14j2m.txt
