Differential Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Isolates, Namely, the Wuhan Strain, Delta, and Omicron Variants on Erythropoiesis

ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2 variants exhibit different viral transmissibility and disease severity. However, their impact on erythropoiesis has not been investigated. Here, we show SARS-CoV-2 variants differentially affect erythropoiesis. This is illustrated by the abundance of CD71+ erythroid cells (CECs)...
