SARS-CoV-2 escapes CD8 T cell surveillance via mutations in MHC-I restricted epitopes
2020-12-20
Abstract excerpt
CD8+ T cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 has been implicated in COVID-19 severity and virus control, though direct evidence has been lacking so far. Here, we identified non-synonymous mutations in MHC-I restricted CD8+ T cell epitopes after deep sequencing of 747 SARS-CoV- 2 virus isolates. Mutant peptides exhibited diminished or abrogated MHC-I binding, which was associated with a loss of recognition and functional res...
