Kinetics of CD74+ on convCD4+ and CD8+ T cells. PBMCs from COVID-19 patients were isolated on the first and seventh day of hospitalization. central memory (CM, CCR7+CD45RO+CD28+), effector memory (EM, CCR7−CD45RO+CD28−), and effector (E, CCR7-CD45RO−CD28−) CD8+ T cell subpopulations were characterized by using CD45RO, CCR7, and CD28. Frequencies of CD74+ convCD4+ T cell subpopulations (A–D) as well as CD8+ T cell subpopulations (E–H) were determined by flow cytometric analysis. Each dot represents an individual patient and lines connect values of an identical patient on day 1 and 7 of hospitalization. Mean values of are indicated by bars. Statistically significant differences between time points are indicated by asterisks (* < 0.05; ** < 0.01; *** < 0.001).
