Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and pathogenesis 2020-10-14 .txt text/plain 6389 385 46 Thus, evasion of IFN signaling by SARS-CoV-2 and impaired IFN production in J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f human peripheral blood immune cells might contribute to the productive viral replication, transmission, and severe pathogenesis during COVID-19, although further testing is warranted to fully dissect these putative evasion pathways [95] . For instance, Krt18-hACE2 and betaactin-hACE2-transgenic mice rapidly succumb to SARS-CoV-2 infection with lung infiltration of inflammatory immune cells inducing severe pulmonary disease, accompanied by evident thrombosis and anosmia, which partially recapitulate human COVID-19 [114] [115] . Furthermore, upon viral challenge, lymphocytes have expanded in rhesus macaque models around 5 dpi with complementary B-cell responses against SARS-CoV-2 Spike appearing 10-15 dpi in blood samples [125] ; expansion of these adaptive immune compartments was analogous to those observed in COVID-19 patients [37, 125, [132] [133] [134] . ./cache/cord-299093-zp07aqpm.txt ./txt/cord-299093-zp07aqpm.txt
