COVID‐19 vaccine‐readiness for anti‐CD20‐depleting therapy in autoimmune diseases 2020-08-01 .txt text/plain 6017 323 44 It appears that the innate immune response, and perhaps later anti-viral CD8 T cell responses, could eliminate the SARS-CoV2 before significant antibody responses have developed [20, 28, 33] (Fig. 1) , suggesting that most MS treatments that largely exhibit limited persistent effects on the innate immune and CD8 T cell responses would have limited influence on COVID-19. The suggestion that rituximab treatment may increase risk of infection should be considered in the context of possible sampling biases, although this Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects cells in the lung and the gut via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). If COVID-19-related vaccine responses become a key concern among people with MS or other autoimmune diseases choosing treatment options, the selection of B cell-depleting agents that allow quick repopulation of B cells may be relevant for optimum vaccine readiness. ./cache/cord-258873-l9oxmqdp.txt ./txt/cord-258873-l9oxmqdp.txt
