Abstract

This article deals with the dynamics of the innate and adaptive immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2) infection. SARSCoV2 is the viral factor that causes the current global coronavirus pandemic disease 2019 (COVID2019). In terms of person-to-person transmission, it is contacted by inhaling the sneeze droplets of infected people. Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 attacks lung cells first in its binding mechanism because there are many conservative receptor entries, such as angiotensin converting enzyme 2. The presence of this virus in host cells triggers a variety of protective immune responses, resulting in leads to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In the SarsCoV2 infection process, virus replication, immune response, and inflammatory response are dynamic events that can change rapidly; leading to different results, involving the dynamic expression of pro-inflammatory genes, peaking after the lowest point of respiratory function and leading to a cytokine storm, research on the interleukin 1 (IL1) pathway has shown that it is a factor related in severe respiratory diseases. The weakened expression of cytokines associated with mild infections will also delay T cell immunity to SARSCoV2, thereby prolonging the infection time; this indicates that such afebrile (afebrile) infections and undifferentiated COVID19 cases may promote the virus in the community Spread. This review aims to provide a general overview of the dynamics involved in the human immune response to this viral infection. It also includes a brief description of its structure, discovery history and pathogenesis to facilitate the understanding of this article.
