cord-300360-h6gr91eg	Górski, Andrzej	Phages in the fight against COVID-19?	2020-08-26		.txt	text/plain	2932	158	41	This hypothesis has been fully confirmed by recent studies that have revealed that phages present in the human body may penetrate epithelial cell layers from gut, lung and other organs without causing any harmful effects. In the absence of bacterial infection, the Escherichia coli phage 536 PI promotes an increase in the production of IFN-α and IL-12 in the lungs (but not in the blood), allowing for the presence of an antiviral signature in the lungs of healthy uninfected mice (this effect was phage specific and mediated by 536 P1 and not LM33 P1 phages) [37] . The data presented in this Commentary are often preliminary but suggest that further studies focused on the potential of phage therapy as at least an adjunct treatment of COVID-19 are warranted. The in vitro studies on bacteriophage influence on the ability of human viruses to infect epithelial cells.	./cache/cord-300360-h6gr91eg.txt	./txt/cord-300360-h6gr91eg.txt
