Coronavirus: Immune clue sparks treatment hope

UK scientists are to begin testing a treatment that it is hoped could counter the effects of Covid-19 in the most seriously ill patients.

It has been found those with the most severe form of the disease have extremely low numbers of an immune cell called a T-cell.

T-cells clear infection from the body.

The clinical trial will evaluate if a drug called interleukin 7, known to boost T-cell numbers, can aid patients' recovery.

It involves scientists from the Francis Crick Institute, King's College London and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital.

They have looked at immune cells in the blood of 60 Covid-19 patients and found an apparent crash in the numbers of T-cells.

Prof Adrian Hayday from the Crick Institute said it was a "great surprise" to see what was happening with the immune cells.

"They're trying to protect us, but the virus seems to be doing something that's pulling the rug from under them, because their numbers have declined dramatically.

In a microlitre (0.001ml) drop of blood, normal healthy adults have between 2,000 and 4,000 T-cells, also called T lymphocytes.

The Covid patients the team tested had between 200-1,200.

'Extremely encouraging'
The researchers say these findings pave the way for them to develop a "fingerprint test" to check the levels of T-cells in the blood which could provide early indications of who might go on to develop more severe disease.

But it also provides the possibility for a specific treatment to reverse that immune cell decline.

Manu Shankar-Hari, a critical care consultant at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, said that around 70% of patients that he sees in intensive care with Covid-19 arrive with between 400-800 lymphocytes per microlitre. "When they start to recover, their lymphocyte level also starts to go back up," he added.

Interleukin 7 has already been tested in a small group of patients with sepsis and proved to safely increase the production of these specific cells.

In this trial, it will be given to patients with a low lymphocyte count who have been in critical care for more than three days.

Mr Shankar-Hari said: "We are hoping that [when we increase the cell count] the viral infections gets cleared.

"As a critical care physician, I look after patients who are extremely unwell and, other than supportive care, we do not have any direct active treatment against the disease.

"So a treatment like this coming along for in the context of a clinical trial is extremely encouraging for critical care physicians across the UK


"The virus that has caused this completely Earth-changing emergency is unique - it's different. It is something unprecedented."

"The exact reason for this disruption - the spanner in the works of the T-cell system - is not at all clear to us.

"This virus is really doing something distinct and future research - which we will start immediately - needs to find out the mechanism by which this virus is having these effects."

DELSU is a very funny school, they are not organized.. they just employ and device methods to trick and delay students....in 2018 gossssh !!!! My computer for the CBT exam was sooooooooo slow .For 50 questions under 30 mins a slow computer I'll click and wait while my time is going for the next question to come up. Other halls had faster computers, the kind of speed u see while writing jamb That affected me badly as i wasn't able to ansa all. I had 10 questions left unanswered due to the speed of loading questions .2019 they conducted DE exam where no candidate was allowed to use Pencil or biro, just go empty handed into the hall to face 50 unknown questions. Turned out to be a lil bit of maths, confusing aptitude test included, (The person who set those aptitude questions must be from the devil. Each question
had abt 2 or 3 examples and the main question it self. The examples had different method of looking for a solution, two or three methods could give a solution to the examples , but not to the question wtf!! the answer is there nonetheless, it takes longer than necessary to decipher, too long in fact. And you have 0.6sec for each question
. English where you'll be given questions, nothing in italics or bolded. You'll have to decipher your answer from the options. At the end of the day DE cut off was pegged at 86. The next highest cut off for which was for pharmacy was pegged at 56. The general performance year was low. How'd dey arrive at 86 no one knows

What do you think about UNICAL?

i also experience this .Everything u just said Is accurately correct I will advise anyone to chose uniben cause he or she has higher chances of gaining admission .Delsu post utme nor b abt who know book de pass am o .Uniben if ur intelligent I bet u can ace it
