Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 easily infects human monocytes, macrophages and possibly dendritic cells (DCs), causing dysfunctions of these important antigen presenting cells (APCs). Observed DC dysfunctions facilitate improper antigen presentation, which obviously results T cell anergy, exhaustion and apoptosis, thus, may be contributing significantly in SARS-CoV-2 infection associated lymphopenia. Neem Leaf Glycoprotein or NLGP has enormous role in altered DC functions, thereby, offering optimum T cell mediated cytotoxicity, as experienced from cancer system. Such NLGP guided correction of altered DCs might also be effective to generate proper SARS-CoV-2-specific effector and central memory T cells.
