The Loss of Bcl-6 Expressing T Follicular Helper Cells and the Absence of Germinal Centers in COVID-19

TL;DR: Analysis of postmortem thoracic lymph nodes and spleens in acute SARS-CoV-2 infection identifies defective Bcl-6+TFH cell generation and dysregulated humoral immune induction early in COVID-19 disease, providing a mechanistic explanation for the limited durability of antibody responses in coronavirus infections and suggest that achieving herd immunity through natural infection may be difficult.

TL;DR: Analysis of SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ T cells responses in a subset of individuals with sustained anti-S antibody responses following viral clearance also revealed an increased proportion of memory cTfh cells, indicating efficient early disease control also predicts favorable long-term adaptive immunity.
