Monocyte-Driven Atypical Cytokine Storm and Aberrant Neutrophil Activation as Key Mediators of COVID19 Disease Severity
2020-07-13
Abstract excerpt
The host immune response in symptomatic COVID-19 patients seems ineffective in clearing SARS-CoV-2, yet excessive in causing local tissue damage and hypercytokinemia. To elucidate the immunopathology underlying COVID-19 severity, cytokine profiling was performed in mild-moderate and critically-ill COVID-19 patients. Hypercytokinemia in COVID-19 differed from the IFN-γ-driven cytokine storm in macrophage activation...
