SARS-CoV-2 is causing a global pandemic by adeptly evading the human immune defense system. For instance, SARS-CoV-2 suppresses the release of interferon during the initial phases of infection, facilitating efficient viral replication. Subsequently, it triggers a cytokine storm, resulting in damage to diverse organs beyond the lungs. The prognosis of patients with severe COVID-19 has improved since the early stage of the pandemic with the use of immunomodulators, such as steroids, interleukin-6 inhibitors, and JAK inhibitors, in addition to antiviral agents. The development of mRNA vaccines and viral vector vaccines targeting SARS-CoV-2 has also made significant contributions to mitigating the severity of COVID-19. A thorough understanding of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for comprehending the pathogenesis of COVID-19 in patients.
