It is known that MERS-CoV is able to infect both CD4 + and CD8 + primary human T cells and, upon infection induces T cell apoptosis in vitro 7 . While the cell surface receptor.....
    Document: The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not peer-reviewed) is the . https://doi.org /10.1101 /10. /2020 In addition, we observed a marked reduction in T and T H subtype cells in infected patients, suggesting that SARS-Cov-2 infection may impair cellular immunity. It is known that MERS-CoV is able to infect both CD4 + and CD8 + primary human T cells and, upon infection induces T cell apoptosis in vitro 7 . While the cell surface receptor for SARS-Cov-2 has now been identified as ACE2 8 , other receptors may also exist on immune cells to bind to coronavirus [9] [10] [11] . As there is no proven antiviral treatment yet available, strategies to enhance the immune system may be considered. Since the most common haematological changes in COVID-19 patients were lymphopenia and immunodeficiency, we postulate that hematopoietic growth factors such as G-CSF, by mobilizing endogenous blood stem cells and endogenous cytokines, may represent a potential haematological treatment for COVID-19 patients 12 .
