Herein, we isolated and profiled a panel of 32 N protein-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from a quick recovery coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) convalescent patient who had dominant antibody responses to the SARS-CoV-2 N protein rather than to the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. The complex structure of the N protein RNA binding domain with the mAb with the highest binding affinity (nCoV396) revealed changes in the epitopes and antigen’s allosteric regulation. Functionally, a virus-free complement hyper-activation analysis demonstrated that nCoV396 specifically compromises the N protein-induced complement hyper-activation, which is a risk factor for the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 patients, thus laying the foundation for the identification of functional anti-N protein mAbs.
