Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Chemokines play an important role in shaping lung innate and adaptive immunity to pulmonary infections and diseases. However, the role of CXC ligand 13 (CXCL13), a chemokine homeostatically produced by various lung cell types, in the protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease remains controversial. Some studies reported that asymptomatic patients who survived severe COVID-19 had CXCL13-dom...
