HLA-E–restricted SARS-CoV-2–specific T cells from convalescent COVID-19 patients suppress virus replication despite HLA class Ia down-regulation
30 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Pathogen-specific CD8 + T cell responses restricted by the nonpolymorphic nonclassical class Ib molecule human leukocyte antigen E (HLA-E) are rarely reported in viral infections. The natural HLA-E ligand is a signal peptide derived from classical class Ia HLA molecules that interact with the NKG2/CD94 receptors to regulate natural killer cell functions, but pathogen-derived peptides can also be presented by...
