Abstract:
Covid19 is a current pandemic caused by SARS COVID2 virus. It is a RNA virus consists of outer spike glycoproteins. These PAMP's such as surface glycoproteins were recognized by PRR (pattern recognition receptors) belongs to TLR's especially TLR7 and TLR8 on immune cells activate NF-KB a key transcription factor involved in development of immunity. Dysregulated NF-KB a key transcription factor activates inflammatory mediators involved in disease progression in COVID patients. Targeting NF-KB, a key transcription factor and suppressing it, helps in suppressing the progression of disease for better prognosis. This article highlights about the NF-KB, a key transcription factor activity in progression of diseases in COVID19 patients, which is helpful for future therapeutic target and prognostic marker.
