“T cell counts are reduced significantly in COVID-19 patients, and the surviving T cells appear functionally exhausted.”

“…. the total number of NK and CD8+ T cells was decreased markedly in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The function of NK and CD8+ T cells was exhausted with the increased expression of NKG2A in COVID-19 patients…
…”results suggest that the functional exhaustion of cytotoxic lymphocytes is associated with SRAS-CoV-2 infection”
”during the acute phase of their COVID-19 infection. A comparable reduction in B-cells was found in both diseases and a more severe reduction in the total amount of T-cells in COVID-19 compared to AIDS patients.”

”We uncovered changes in the protein landscape that revealed immunosuppression and impaired tight junctions in COVID-19 patients in the early stage of infection
“Both HIV1 & SARSCoV2 share CD4+ Tcell loss in association w/ disease outcome and immunodeficiency. Direct attacks on CD4+Tcells, immune activation & redistribution of CD4+ Tcell are contributing mechanisms in very different proportion for CD4+ Tcell lymphopenia in both diseases

NEW STUDY shows impaired generation of T cell memory responses in children vs adults. The rapid elimination of virus by the immune system reduces the antigen availability and prolonged cytokine exposure needed to generate long-lived cellular immunity.

Results suggest lymphoid tissue can be a reservoir of SARS-CoV-2.
It remains unclear for how long the lymphoid tissue can sustain the SARS-CoV-2 in a persistent infection, and whether this persistence has any impact on virus transmission.

Pre print,
In symptomatic patients, the results suggest an inhibition occurring at the germinal center hinting at a reduction in memory B cell production.

This could contribute to the shortage in the formation of memory B cells in COVID-19.

Sorry everyone for repeat 🧵, I had deleted a few studies I tweeted twice in the thread, and with my edit for some readom 1/2 the studies went missing from 🧵.
