Table 2. Overview of proportionally increased cell clusters and transcriptional characteristics in the direct comparison between COVID-19, CAP-flu, and CAP-other.

COVID-19 CAP-flu CAP-other
NK cells Granulysin+ NK cells ↑ higher type I interferon response than CAP-flu
NK cells high IFITM3 expression
Granulysin+ NK cells ↑↑ higher AREG expression than COVID-19 Low numbers of NK cells
T cells CD8 EMRA-like 2 ↑ cytotoxicity, activation and inflammation CD8 EMRA-like 2 ↑↑ cytotoxicity, activation and inflammation Naive CD4/CD8
not activated
CD8 EM less activated than EMRA-like 1 and 2 clusters
Monocytes Intermediate monocytes high type I interferon response, increased antiviral potential Classical monocytes ribosomal and viral transcription genes Non-classical monocytes heterogenous gene expression
