Caspase-11 Mediated Hyperinflammation Impairs CD8⁺ T Cell Immunity and Viral Clearance in Severe SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Mostafa M. Eltobgy, Mohamed M. Shamseldin, Owen D. Whitham, Heba M. Amer, Jeffrey Atkinson, Asmaa Badr, Jesse M. Hall, Gauruv A. Gupta, Yara Y. Hassan, Rabab ElMergawy, Richard Perez, Sarah E. Faber, Maciej Pietrzak, Amy Webb, Xiaoli Zhang, , Amal O. Amer

This study shows that Caspase-11 worsens severe SARS-CoV-2 by increasing inflammation and reducing CD8 T-cell immunity, but its removal improves viral clearance and survival.
