There is scarce information on the human immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 infection, and on the exacerbated inflammatory reaction observed in severe COVID-19 cases.
To review the available evidence on the role of interferons type I and type III to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
We reviewed the available published evidence on the role of immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as recent publications on characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19, and their relationship with interferons type I and type III.
The available data indicates that immune response plays an important role in controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection and the immune dysregulation can significantly modify the clinical outcomes of affected patients. In addition, the evidence suggests that IFN type I and III can play an important role in controlling viremia and modulating the immune response in COVID-19.
Due to their central role in immune response against SARS-CoV-2 infection, IFN type I and III could be considered for treatment of COVID-19.
目前关于人类对 SARS-CoV-2 感染的免疫反应,以及在严重 COVID-19 病例中观察到的炎症反应加剧的信息有限。
综述 I 型和 III 型干扰素在 SARS-CoV-2 感染中的作用的现有证据。
我们综述了有关 SARS-CoV-2 感染免疫反应的现有已发表证据,以及关于 COVID-19 的特征和结局及其与 I 型和 III 型干扰素的关系的最新出版物。
现有数据表明,免疫反应在控制 SARS-CoV-2 感染方面起着重要作用,免疫失调可显著改变受影响患者的临床结局。此外,有证据表明,IFN 型 I 和 III 可在控制病毒血症和调节 COVID-19 中的免疫反应方面发挥重要作用。
由于它们在针对 SARS-CoV-2 感染的免疫反应中的核心作用,I 型和 III 型干扰素可考虑用于 COVID-19 的治疗。
