SARS-CoV-2 induces robust germinal center CD4 T follicular helper cell responses in rhesus macaques

Induction of CD4 T follicular helper (Tfh) cells is important for antibody responses to viral infections. Here, the authors show in a rhesus macaque model of mild COVID-19 that SARS-CoV-2 infection results in transient accumulation of proliferating Tfh cells with a Th1 profile in peripheral blood an...
