Background: SARS-CoV-2 ORF8
Studies have revealed that SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 has a role in host immune suppression during viral infection as it is an inhibitor of the type I interferon pathway (4, 5). Specifically, ORF8 has been shown to have antagonistic properties on interferon-beta (IFN-beta), the NF-kappabeta-responsive promoter, and the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) (4,5). Additionally, ORF8 colocalizes with the ER and lysosomal proteins Calnexin and LAMP1, playing a role in major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) downregulation and degradation (4, 6). These results suggest that inhibiting ORF8 may be a potential approach for improving immune surveillance and more quickly eliminating SARS-CoV-2 infection (4-6).
