We suggest that the exuberant blood clotting and immune hyper-reaction seen in patients
with COVID-19 may be exacerbated by depletion of the same regulator. This agent is protein
S, which is both an anticoagulant in the blood coagulation cascade and an activating ligand
for the immunosuppressive TAM family of receptor tyrosine kinases.
