Abstract
The interferon response has been shown to be linked to severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection and is an essential component of the immune response to COVID-19. Here the authors stratify patients according to COVID-19 severity and asses the interferon response showing defective responses in severe infection and highlight the importance of assay variables and confounding factors that impact the detection of interferon.
