CD8A and COVID-19: Deep immune profile analysis of hospitalized COVID-19 patients showed a highly heterogeneous adaptive response and identified two main distinct immunophenotypes: immunophenotype 1, associated with severity, characterized by highly activated CD4 T cells, fewer circulating T follicular helper (cTfh) cells, and hyperactivated or exhausted CD8 T cells; immunophenotype 2, associated with a more favorable outcome, including less activated CD4 T cells, Tbet+ effector CD4 and CD8 T cells, and proliferating B cells (96).
