SARS-CoV-2: Real-time Imaging Reveals Unexpectedly Fast Immune Response in the Lung

Using advanced intravital microscopy, Helmholtz Munich researchers have been able to observe early immune reactions in the living lung in real time. The images show that specific T cells are activated within hours after contact with components of SARS‑CoV‑2. They migrate into the lung and accumulate there. The findings point to a previously unknown mechanism that links innate and adaptive immunity…
