Description
Summary:Clinical heterogeneity and varied prognosis are well noted for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Altered immune response is a major feature for the adverse prognosis however focus on altered immune response has been primarily limited to hyper-inflammatory responses like Cytokine storm. A deeper understanding of viral pathobiology and the interplay of innate and adaptive immune cells against SARS-CoV-2 infection is essential to optimize intervention strategy and future preparedness for SARS-CoV-2 or its related viral diseases. To uncover the immunological signatures driving the progression of SARS-CoV-2 infection, we performed an extensive immunophenotype on blood samples from 79 hospitalized patients with mild/moderate to severe infections as well as from healthy controls and recovered donors to understand the interplay between innate and adaptive responses impacting severity and prognosis. We observed multifarious immune dysregulation, varied across patients of the clinical spectrum. We observed 4 major dysregulations of immune phenotypes 1) depletion of M1φ (impaired antiviral response as APC), 2) immune suppression/exhaustion via activation of repressor like CD4+/CD8+PD1, TIM3, LAG3 3) inappropriate differentiation of lymphocyte (extreme elevated proportion of CD4 naive, memory B and T cells along with reduction of inflammatory activator like TLR2/4/TIGIT) and 4) cytokine storm. Our results show the identification of biomarkers to differentiate the different trajectories for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
