Immunopathology from hyperactive host immune system contributes to the clinical severity of COVID-19. The proposed study will test the hypothesis that pathologic T cell and B cell interactions promote autoantibody production to mediate tissue damage in critically ill COVID-19 patients. In Aim 1, we will quantify the brea... |
