Study of immunological features of immune response in 14 children (aged from 12 days up to 15 years) and of 10 adults who developed COVID-19 show increased number of activated CD4 and CD8 cells expressing DR and higher plasmatic levels of IL-12 and IL-1β in adults with COVID-19, but not in children. In addition, plasmatic levels of CCL5/RANTES are higher in children and adults with COVID-19, while CXCL9/MIG was only increased in adults. Higher number of activated T cells and expression of IL-12 and CXCL9 suggest prominent Th1 polarization of immune response against SARS-CoV2 in infected adults as compared with children.
研究了 14 名儿童(年龄从 12 天至 15 岁)和 10 名成年人的免疫反应的免疫学特征,这些成年人患有 COVID-19。结果表明,与儿童相比,患有 COVID-19 的成年人中表达 DR 的活化 CD4 和 CD8 细胞数量增加,IL-12 和 IL-1β 的血浆水平更高。此外,患有 COVID-19 的儿童和成年人的血浆 CCL5/RANTES 水平更高,而 CXCL9/MIG 仅在成年人中增加。与儿童相比,感染 SARS-CoV2 的成年人中活化 T 细胞数量增加,IL-12 和 CXCL9 的表达增加,表明针对 SARS-CoV2 的免疫反应存在明显的 Th1 极化。
