Ideas in this flowchart
- Distinct immunological architectures differentiate fast and slow responders to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Fast responders show a cytolytic and pDC-rich immune landscape.
- Slow responders show a Tfh-dominated immune profile.
- The divergence likely reflects differences in the timing and pathways of immune activation.
- Fast responders include NK cells and NKG2D⁺CD8⁺ T cells.
- Their response also involves rapid cytolytic functions and noncanonical B cell activation.
- pDCs enhance T cell-independent B cell responses through p38 MAPK–STAT1 signaling.
- This pDC pathway enables early antibody production without CD4⁺ T cell help.
- NKG2D signaling in CD8⁺ T cells supports memory responses without CD4⁺ T cell assistance.
- These mechanisms may collectively support early control of viral replication.
- Tfh cells orchestrate germinal center formation and antibody affinity maturation.
- These processes require sustained antigen exposure and cellular coordination.
- Increased Tfh activity and higher-affinity antibodies indicate a delayed but robust humoral response.
- Tfh-associated ADCC depends on class-switched, high-affinity antibodies and requires time to develop.
- In the CyTOF-based assay, CD107a/b reflected NK degranulation events associated with antibody-mediated activation.
- The CD107a/b⁺ population represented approximately 10.8 ± 4.2% in the 5SB12 group.
- Only specific NK subpopulations appear to participate in SARS-CoV-2 antibody-involved ADCC.
