Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the recovery of peripheral blood mononuclear cells by density gradient
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is responsible for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is characterised by a hyperinflammatory response that plays a major role in determining the respiratory and immune-mediated complications of this condition. While isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells...
