Abstract excerpt
Cross-reactive T cell immunity to seasonal coronaviruses (HCoVs) may lead to immunopathology or protection during SARS-CoV2 infection. To understand the influence of cross-reactive T cell responses, we used IEDB (Immune epitope database) and NetMHCpan (ver. 4.1) to identify candidate CD8+ T cell epitopes, restricted through HLA-A and B alleles. Conservation analysis was carried out for these epitopes with HCoVs,...
