Abstract
Postmortem analyses provide useful information for COVID-19 etiology. Here the authors profile 22 deceased severe COVID-19 patients with transcriptomic and histological approaches to find correlations between the presence of viral antigens with lymphocyte suppression yet myeloid activation, hinting distinct functions of these cells during pathogenesis.
