Activation of Intracellular Complement in Lungs of Patients With Severe COVID-19 Disease Decreases T-Cell Activity in the Lungs

A novel coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), arose late in 2019, with disease pathology ranging from asymptomatic to severe respiratory distress with multi-organ failure requiring mechanical ventilator support. It has been found that SARS-CoV-2 infection drives...
