Researchers Discover Genetic Errors and Rogue Antibodies in Cases of Severe COVID-19 Infection

XTalks

While it remains unclear why some people become more gravely ill than others when infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, researchers have found that an immune deficiency may be part of it. Type I interferons are critical molecular immune regulators that are at the forefront of antiviral responses early in an infection.
