pds-cov-2 uses cd4 to infect t helper lymphocytes
thus, cd4-mediated sars-cov-2 infection of t helper cells may explain the poor adaptive immune response of many covid- 19 patients.", "here we show that sars-cov-2 infects human cd4+ t helper cells, but not cd8+ t cells, and is present in blood and bronchoalveolar lavage t helper cells of severe covid-19 patients.", "we demonstrated that sars-cov-2 spike glycoprotein (s) directly binds to the cd4 molecule, which in turn mediates the entry of sars- cov-2 in t helper cells in a mechanism that also requires ace2 and tmprss2."
