"these data indicate that alveolar macrophages, as the frontline immune cells, may be directly targeted by the sars-cov-2 infection and therefore need to be considered for the prevention and treatment of covid-19.", "to better understand the pathogenesis of covid-19 and build up the host anti-viral immunity, we examined the levels of ace2 expression on different types of immune cells including tissue macrophages.", "wong, s. k., li, w., moore, m. j., choe, h. & farzan, m. a 193-amino acid fragment of the sars coronavirus s protein efficiently binds angiotensin- converting enzyme 2."
