The COVID-19 pandemic is leading to increasing numbers of patients all over the world. Reports on a dysregulated immune system in the severe cases calls for a better characterization of the ongoing changes. To dissect COVID-19-driven immune host responses, we profiled whole blood transcriptomes enabling a data-driven stratification based on molecular phenotype. This analysis allowed prediction of patient subgroup-specific drug candidates targeting the dysregulated systemic immune response of the host.
新冠疫情致使全球患者数量不断增加。关于重症病例中免疫系统失调的报告,要求对当前变化进行更深入的特征描述。为剖析新冠病毒驱动的免疫宿主反应,我们对全血转录组进行了分析,从而能够基于分子表型进行数据驱动的分层。该分析有助于预测针对宿主失调的全身免疫反应的患者亚组特异性候选药物。
