Validating these discovery experiments, we performed mass cytometry analysis of an independent cohort of 12 patients (four in each group; control, mild and severe) ( Table S5) , which showed a lower fraction of CD14 Low CD16 High non-classical monocytes in severe compared to mild patients ( Figure 3F and 3G ). This study presents evidence that patients who develop a severe COVID-19 exhibit high levels of calprotectin and inflammatory cytokines and chemokines correlating with an emergency myelopoiesis generating ROS-and NOS-expressing immunosuppressive myeloid cells (HLA-DR Low monocytes and immature subsets of neutrophils). ./cache/cord-284944-hcgfe9wv.txt ./txt/cord-284944-hcgfe9wv.txt
