Something for everybody in this covid thing. They put MS in the nucleocapsid?
... the authors found a higher degree of peptide similarity between SARS-CoV-2 N and MS-associated proteins, than for 3 out of 4 seasonal coronaviruses that also had significant peptide similarities. This means, that yet again, something is ‘special’ about SARS-CoV-2 in this regard - myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) significantly overlapped only with the N protein of SARS-CoV-2: this might make the difference pathologically. Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is implicated in the development of MS, by the way.
