Deskripsi

Plasmacytoid DC (pDC) have been shown to secrete type I IFN and to be involved in controlling replication and spread of some viruses. Here the authors show that in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection pDC function is impaired leading to reduced type I IFN production and possibly lower viral control.
