Helminth exposure protects against murine SARS-CoV-2 infection through macrophage dependent T cell activation

K. L. Hilligan, O. O. Oyesola, S. Namasivayam, N. Howard, C. S. Clancy, S. D. Oland, N. L. Garza, B. A. P. Lafont, R. F. Johnson, K. D. Mayer-Barber, A. Sher, P. Loke

This study shows that prior helminth infection reduces SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in mice by enhancing CD8+ T cell responses through macrophage-dependent mechanisms.

IL-10 suppresses T cell expansion while promoting tissue-resident memory cell formation during SARS-CoV-2 infection in rhesus macaques

C. E. Nelson, T. W. Foreman, K. D. Kauffman, S. Sakai, S. T. Gould, J. D. Fleegle, F. Gomez, NIAID/DIR Tuberculosis Imaging Program, C. Le Nouen, X. Liu, T. L. Burdette, N. L. Garza, B. A. P. Lafont, K. Brooks, C. S. L. Arlehamn, , D. L. Barber

This study examines the roles of IFNγ and IL-10 in SARS-CoV-2 infection of rhesus macaques, finding IL-10 suppresses T cell expansion but promotes tissue-resident memory cell formation.
