Manuel Rojas,Yhojan Rodríguez,Diana M. Monsalve,Yeny Acosta-Ampudia,Bernardo Camacho,Juan E. Gallo,Adriana Rojas-Villarraga,Carolina Ramírez-Santana,J. C. Diaz-Coronado,Rubén Manrique,Rubén D. Mantilla,Yehuda Shoenfeld,Juan-Manuel Anaya +12 more
TL;DR: Convalescent plasma constitutes the first option in the current situation, since it has been successfully used in other coronaviruses outbreaks, and the benefits of PC are expected to be better achieved if used in non-critically hospitalized patients, in the hope of reducing morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manuel Rojas,Paula Restrepo-Jiménez,Diana M. Monsalve,Yovana Pacheco,Yeny Acosta-Ampudia,Carolina Ramírez-Santana,Patrick S.C. Leung,Aftab A Ansari,M. Eric Gershwin,Juan-Manuel Anaya +9 more
TL;DR: Studies on the role of autoreactive T-cells that are generated secondary to molecular mimicry, the diversity of the T-cell receptor repertoires of auto-reactiveT-cells, the roles of exposure to cryptic antigens, the generation of autoimmune B-cell responses, the interaction of microbiota and chemical adjuvants with the host immune systems all provide clues in advancing the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the evolving concept of Molecular mimicry.
Journal ArticleDOI
