Immunofluorescent double staining was used to detect the expression of a SARS-CoV-2 NP (nucleocapsid protein) and DP2 in kidney tissues from COVID-19 post-mortem (case #2 and #5); b SARS-CoV-2 S (spike) and prostaglandin D synthase (PDS) in kidney tissues from COVID-19 post-mortem (case #2 and #5); c SARS-CoV-2 NP and DP2 or S and PDS in kidney tissues from hepatitis B virus-associated membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN). Here, sections only incubated with rabbit and mouse secondary antibodies were used as isotype controls. Arrow indicates positive cells. Scale bars = 100 μm. Data represent one of at least three technical replication each.
