In this article, we aim to provide a new hypothesis to describe how the repletion of cellular adenosine triphosphate (c-ATP) can promote immunity against COVID-19. Secondly, ATP-depletion can potentially prone the recruited immune cells to earlier exhaustion against COVID-19. Therefore, one may conclude that ATP-repletion can prevent the so-called "cytokine storm" and improve the cellular energy to better counteract with COVID-19. From the perspective of cellular energy, this process potentially occurs through IFN-mediated T-cell activation that results in c-ATP depletion. have shown that following IFN-γ stimulation, mitochondrial hyperpolarization and ATP depletion occurs in T-cells that results in apoptosis (10) . It demonstrates how an increase in c-ATP can decrease the effect of COVID-19 on immune dysregulation. ./cache/cord-254411-e9vvjv8w.txt ./txt/cord-254411-e9vvjv8w.txt
