Chats0
TLDR
The data indicate that certain immunocompromised patients may shed infectious virus for longer durations than previously recognized, and detection of subgenomic RNA is recommended in persistently SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals as a proxy for shedding of infectious virus.

SARS-CoV-2 may affect the immune response via direct inhibition of T cell receptor: Mechanistic hypothesis and rationale.

Alexander B. Sigalov
- 15 Nov 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 may use a similar "disarm the alarm" strategy to suppress immune responses and discuss the implications of this hypothesis for better understanding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pathology.
