SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 modulates the upper respiratory tract inflammatory response to facilitate transmission

Grace O. Ciabattoni, Stacey Bartlett, Marisa E. McGrath, Matthew B. Frieman, Meike Dittmann, Mila Brum Ortigoza

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 enhances upper respiratory tract inflammation and virus shedding, promoting transmission by modulating type-I interferon signaling.

IFNγ-Driven Inflammatory Responses in the Nasal Mucosa Drive Influenza Virus Shedding and Transmission

Stacey Bartlett, Hedy L. Rocha, Leon L. Hsieh, Stephen T. Yeung, Chan Wang, Grace O. Ciabattoni, Cynthia A. Loomis, Huilin Li, Benjamin Robert tenOever, Mila Brum Ortigoza

This study shows that IFNγ-driven inflammation in the nasal mucosa increases influenza virus shedding and transmission, linking infectiousness to host immune responses rather than viral replication alone.
