Long-term increase in soluble interleukin-6 receptor levels in convalescents after mild COVID-19 infection by Juliane Lokau, Juliane Lokau, Yvonne Garbers, Manuel M. Vicente, Anna Dittrich, Stefan Meltendorf, Holger Lingel, Anja K. Münster-Kühnel, Monika Brunner-Weinzierl, Christoph Garbers, Christoph Garbers

“…Furthermore, we used single cell RNA sequencing data in order to determine which immune cell types are sources and targets of the individual cytokines and whether their expression is altered in severe COVID-19 patients.ResultsWe find that sIL-6R levels are not only increased in acute severely ill patients, but also in convalescents after a mild COVID-19 infection. We show that this increase in sIL-6R results in an enhanced capacity of the sIL-6R/sgp130 buffer system, but that significantly enhanced free IL-6 is still present due to an overload of the buffer. …”
