“…The idea that CXCL10 and CCL2 should be regarded as “dominant” in the chemokine immune signature stems from the number of studies consistently reporting their crucial role in the onset of the cytokine storm of COVID-19 and from their relevance in determining specific features of this condition. Indeed, among the several chemokines which have been evaluated and found to be involved in COVID-19, CXCL10 and CCL2 were found to be the most up-regulated ones as compared to controls, showing different degrees of correlation with the viral load as well as with several peculiar symptoms (asthenia, dyspnea, anosmia) [ 5 , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [21] , [22] , [23] , 29 , 36 , 37 , [44] , [45] , [46] , 49 , 54 , [65] , [66] , [67] ]. Most importantly, CXCL10 and CCL2 were identified to be rather good markers of disease severity since their circulating levels progressively increase in patients with moderate, mild and severe clinical manifestations.…”
