Antibody assays with the nucleocapsid (NC) protein as the target antigen can identify Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections when PCR analyses are unavailable. Regarding the kinetics of NC-specific antibodies, vaccine breakthroughs with Omicron subvariants may differ from infections with the ancestral wild-type virus.

AbstractCell entry is a crucial step for a virus to infect a host cell. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) utilizes the glycoprotein B (gB) to fuse the viral and host cell membrane upon receptor binding of gH/gL-containing complexes. Fusion is mediated by major conformational changes of gB from a metastable pre-fusion to a stable post-fusion whereby the central trimeric coiled-coils, formed by domain (D) III α helices, remain structurally nearly unchanged.
