SARS-CoV-2 is a positive RNA virus which is responsible for the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020. This article provides an overview of this novel coronavirus, including its genome, proteins, receptor recognition, and synthesizes research on the immune responses and marker events triggered by the novel coronavirus. It emphasizes the critical roles of immune cells, specifically T cells and B cells, in the immune response. The article also highlights the virus’s ability to replicate within lung-resident macrophages and variations in immune responses among different patients. The discussion regarding the persistence of immune protection is ongoing, but studies indicate that prior infection may offer protection for at least ten months, even though reinfection remains possible. These findings are of significant importance for understanding the immune mechanisms of COVID-19, assessing disease severity, and devising effective treatment strategies.
