Disruption of Adaptive Immunity Enhances Disease in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Syrian Hamsters

R. Brocato, L. Principe, R. Kim, X. Zeng, J. Williams, Y. Liu, R. Li, J. Smith, J. Golden, D. Gangemi, S. Youssef, Z. Wang, J. Glanville, J. Hooper

This study shows that disrupting adaptive immunity in Syrian hamsters worsens SARS-CoV-2 disease, but a neutralizing antibody reduces infection even in immunosuppressed animals.
