COVID-ONE-humoral immune: The One-stop Database for COVID-19-specific Antibody Responses and Clinical Parameters

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by SARS-CoV-2, varies with regard to symptoms and mortality rates among populations. Humoral immunity plays critical roles in SARS-CoV-2 infection and recovery from COVID-19. However, differences in immune responses and clinical features among COVID-19 patients remain largely unknown. Here, we report a database for COVID-19-specific IgG/IgM immune responses and clinical parameters (COVID-ONE humoral immune). COVID-ONE humoral immunity is based on a dataset that contains the IgG/IgM responses to 21 of 28 known SARS-CoV-2 proteins and 197 spike protein peptides against 2,360 COVID-19 samples collected from 783 patients. In addition, 96 clinical parameters for the 2,360 samples and information for the 783 patients are integrated into the database. Furthermore, COVID-ONE humoral immune provides a dashboard for defining samples and a one-click analysis pipeline for a single group or paired groups. A set of samples of interest is easily defined by adjusting the scale bars of a variety of parameters. After the "START" button is clicked, one can readily obtain a comprehensive analysis report for further interpretation. COVID-ONE-humoral immune is freely available at www.COVID-ONE.cn.

Poised cell circuits in human skin are activated in disease

The human skin confers biophysical and immunological protection through a complex cellular network that is established early in development. We profiled ~500,000 single cells using RNA-sequencing from healthy adult and developing skin, and skin from patients with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Our findings reveal a predominance of innate lymphoid cells and macrophages in developing skin in contrast to T cells and migratory dendritic cells in adult skin. We demonstrate dual keratinocyte differentiation trajectories and activated cellular circuits comprising vascular endothelial cells mediating immune cell trafficking, disease-specific clonally expanded IL13/IL22 and IL17A/F-expressing lymphocytes, epidermal IL23-expressing dendritic cells and inflammatory keratinocytes in disease. Our findings provide key insights into the dynamic cellular landscape of human skin in health and disease. One Sentence SummarySingle cell atlas of human skin reveals cell circuits which are quantitatively and qualitatively reconfigured in inflammatory skin disease.
