Immunology of COVID-19: Current State of the Science.

Nicolas Vabret, +87 more
- 16 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge of innate and adaptive immune responses elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection and the immunological pathways that likely contribute to disease severity and death are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary HIV-1 infection is associated with preferential depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes from effector sites in the gastrointestinal tract.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that although chronic suppression of HIV-1 permits near-complete immune recovery of the peripheral blood CD4+ T cell population, a significantly greater CD4- T cell loss remains in the GI mucosa, despite up to 5 yr of fully suppressive therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and environmental determinants of human NK cell diversity revealed by mass cytometry

TL;DR: The data suggest that inhibitory receptors may contribute more to NK cell self-tolerance, whereas activating receptors may guide response to pathogens and tumors, and the possibility that discrete NK cell subpopulations could be harnessed for immunotherapeutic strategies in the settings of infection, reproduction, and transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial glycolipids and analogs as antigens for CD1d-restricted NKT cells

TL;DR: It is shown that bacterium-derived antigens are also able to stimulate mouse and human NKT cells, and alpha-GalCer is a marine-sponge-derived ligand.
