Researchers at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute)—a joint venture between the University of Melbourne and the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia—were able to test blood samples at four different time points in an otherwise healthy woman in her 40s who presented with COVID-19 and had mild-to-moderate symptoms requiring hospital admission.

The Melbourne researchers mapped immune responses from one of Australia’s first COVID-19 patients, showing the body’s ability to fight the virus and recover from the infection.

Published in Nature Medicine is a detailed report of how the patient’s immune system responded to the virus. One of the authors on the paper, research fellow Oanh Nguyen, said this was the first time that broad immune responses to COVID-19 have been reported.

“We looked at the whole breadth of the immune response in this patient using the knowledge we have built over many years of looking at immune responses in patients hospitalized with influenza,” Dr. Nguyen said. “Three days after the patient was admitted, we saw large populations of several immune cells, which are often a tell-tale sign of recovery during seasonal influenza infection, so we predicted that the patient would recover in three days, which is what happened.”

The study team was able to do this research so rapidly thanks to SITREP-ID (Sentinel Travellers and Research Preparedness for Emerging Infectious Diseases), led by Royal Melbourne Hospital infectious diseases physician Irani Thevarajan at the Doherty Institute. SETREP-ID is a platform that enables a broad range of biological sampling to take place in returned travelers in the event of a new and unexpected infectious-disease outbreak, which is exactly how COVID-19 started in Australia.

“When COVID-19 emerged, we already had ethics and protocols in place so we could rapidly start looking at the virus and immune system in great detail,” Dr.  Thevarajan said.

Working with the University of Melbourne Professor Katherine Kedzierska, a laboratory head at the Doherty Institute and a world-leading influenza immunology researcher, the team was able to dissect the immune response leading to successful recovery from COVID-19, which might be the secret to finding an effective vaccine.

“We showed that even though COVID-19 is caused by a new virus, in an otherwise healthy person, a robust immune response across different cell types was associated with clinical recovery, similar to what we see in influenza,” Professor Kedzierska said.
