ACE2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Consistent with the previous observation of ACE2 expression level correlating with neutrophils, NK cells and various Th cells in SARS-CoV infected cells26, we observed in NSCLC tumor tissues significant positive correlations of ACE2 expression with T cells, NK cells, B cells, monocytic lineage, dendritic cells, neutrophils, as well as endothelial cells (p < 0.0001), Fig. 4.
