The pathogenesis of severe COVID-19 reflects an inefficient immune reaction to SARS-CoV-2. Here we analyze, at the single cell level, plasmablasts egressed into the blood to study thedynamics of adaptive immune response in COVID-19 patients requiring intensive care. Beforeseroconversion in response to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, peripheral plasmablasts display atype 1 interferon-induced gene expression signature; however, following seroconversion,plasmablasts lose this signature, express instead gene signatures induced by IL-21 and TGF-β,and produce mostly IgG1 and IgA1. In the sustained immune reaction from COVID-19patients, plasmablasts shift to the expression of IgA2, thereby reflecting an instruction byTGF-β. Despite their continued presence in the blood, plasmablasts are not found in the lungsof deceased COVID-19 patients, nor does patient IgA2 binds to the dominant antigens ofSARS-CoV-2. Our results thus suggest that, in severe COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 triggers achronic immune reaction that is instructed by TGF-β, and is distracted from itself.
