Abstract

At the end of 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, seriously damaged world public health security. Several protein markers associated with virus infection have been extensively explored to combat the ever-increasing challenge posed by SARS-CoV-2. The proteomics of COVID-19 deepened our understanding of viral particles and their mechanisms of host invasion, providing us with information on protein changes in host tissues, cells and body fluids following infection in COVID-19 patients. In this review, we summarize the proteomic studies of SARS-CoV-2 infection and review the current understanding of COVID-19 in terms of the quantitative and qualitative proteomics of viral particles and host entry factors from the perspective of protein pathological changes in the organism following host infection.

Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; protein biomarker; proteomics; virus infection.
