The effective antiviral responses of the host innate and adaptive immunity, including the production of various proinflammatory cytokines, the activation of T cells, CD4 and CD8+ T cells, are essential for controlling the viral replication, limiting the spread of virus, inflammation and cleaning the infected cells [31, 32] . Few retrospective studies have revealed that the lung injury reported with Murray score is strongly associated with the level of IL-1α, IL-1ra, IL-2, IL-7, IL-10, IL-17, IFN-ɣ, inducible interferon protein (IP)-10, G-CSF, and MCP-3 and these cytokines and chemokines excluding MCP-3 are positively related to SARS-CoV-2 viral load 2 [7] . ./cache/cord-280528-7ivw72l0.txt ./txt/cord-280528-7ivw72l0.txt
