From: Human kidney is a target for novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection
a Representative expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme-II (ACE2) in kidney tissues from COVID-19 post-mortem (case #2) was detected by immunohistochemistry. Scale bars = 100 μm. b The co-expression of ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 NP (nucleocapsid protein) or S (spike) antigens in kidney sections from COVID-19 post-mortem (case #2), hepatitis B virus-associated membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN) and trauma victims. Arrow indicates positive tubules. Scale bars = 100 μm. Data represent one of at least three technical replication each.
