FIGURE 7.
Summary of distinct monocyte profiles in subsets of patients with long COVID. Heatmap of indicated immune parameters by row. Each column represents average (mean) Z-scores for each parameter calculated from individual values of expression by monocytes from healthy individuals or convalescent COVID-19 patients without breathlessness or fatigue (asymptomatic), with breathlessness but not fatigue (breathless) and with fatigue but not breathlessness (fatigue) as separate groups. Heatmap was generated as a visual guide, using a subset of individuals from each group to include all individuals per group with results for every immune parameter analysed (i.e. individuals where samples were used for surface staining for all migration molecules, and microbial stimulation assays for cytokine and COX-2 readouts). Healthy individuals (n=25), asymptomatic (n=29), breathless (n=13), fatigue (n=16).
