Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: In this study, we captured the interconnected biological processes regulated by Tα1 in CD8+ T cells under inflammatory conditions. RESULTS: Genes associated with cytokine signaling and production were upregulated in blood cells from patients with COVID-19, and the ex vivo treatment with Tα1-mitigated cytokine expression, and inhibited lymphocyte activation in a CD8+ T-cell subset specifically. CONCLUSION: These data suggest the potential role of Tα1 in modulating the immune response homeostasis and the cytokine storm in vivo.
