Summary of T cell subset perturbation in peripheral blood in COVID-19

Subset Change in COVID-19 (as percentage of all T cells) Higher proportions of this subset correlate with: References
Naïve T cells Decrease [10]
Naïve CD4+ T cells More severe disease [12]
Activated Tfh Increased More severe disease [13, 14]
Th17 Increased [14]
Non-conventional (CCR6+CCR4+ CD161+IL-1RI+) Th1 (Th1) Increased [14]
Tregs Increased in some More severe disease [12, 14, 15]
Activated CD4 TCM-like Increased [10]
CD4+ TEMRA Increased Milder disease [10, 16, 17]
TCM Milder disease [16]
CD4+ memory cells Milder disease [12]
Th2 More severe disease [8, 12]
CD8+ TEMRA Increased Milder disease [10, 16]
CD8+CD27CCR7+ TEM Increased [10]
CD8+CD27+CCR7 TEM Decreased [10]
CD4+CD8+ double‐positive T cells Increased [18]
MAIT Decreased (in periphery) Milder disease [19, 20]
