Functional autoantibody in COVID-19 contributes to the firestorm of blood clots and inflammation

Functional autoantibody in COVID-19 contributes to the firestorm of blood clots and inflammation Researchers at Michigan Medicine have discovered yet another functional autoantibody in COVID-19 patients that contributes to the disease s development and the firestorm of blood clots and inflammation it induces. A growing body of studies suggests COVID-19 emulates many aspects of systemic autoimmune disorders, including the release of a flurry of overactive immune cells that produce toxic webs of proteins and DNA called neutrophil extracellular traps, or NETs. For this study, the team analyzed serum from over 300 hospitalized COVID patients, searching for a novel autoantibody that shields the toxic NETs from being destroyed and produces a lasting noxious effect in a patient s body.
