Induction of Interferon alpha (IFN-α) immunoreactive cytokines and IL-8 chemokines by live SARS-CoV-2. Peripheral Blood Monocyte Cells (PBMC) were infected with SARS-CoV-2 at a Molteplicity of infection (MOI) 1. At different hours post infection (hpi) (0, 12, 24, 48, and 72) released cytokines were detected by Enzime Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) in both SARS-CoV-2 infected PBMC and non-infected PBMC and expressed as pg/mL. Results are grouped in IFN-α high levels ((A), results are representative of four independent experiments) and IL-8 high levels ((B), results are representative of four independent experiments).
