By contrast, IFNAR inhibition enhanced the recruitment of neutrophils to the lungs in MERS-CoV-infected mice, leading to elevated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines 6 . While patients with severe COVID-19 showed profound depletion and functional exhaustion of NK cells 8 , it is unclear whether this NK cell dysfunction is due to dysregulation of IFN responses. It is thus tempting to speculate that the deficient or dysregulated IFN responses elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection may influence the generation of T reg cells during the recovery phase of COVID-19.
