Abstract

COVID-19 global pandemic has not ceased to spread worldwide since December 2019. Today, scientists and healthcare workers are urgently working to stop this viral invasion and protect the world community. Deciphering the specific cellular and molecular immune response to the new coronavirus 2019 is an essential step in order to develop effective treatment and vaccine. Recovery from COVID-19 infection was linked to appropriate immune responses. However, disease severity was correlated to impaired immune reactions. This review summarized the latest research findings on the role of immune system in fighting and also in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. In addition, it highlighted the immunological basis for the new coronavirus 2019 prevention, therapy and diagnosis.

Keywords: COVID-19; immune responses; immuno-pathogenesis.
