Suboptimal SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell response associated with the prominent HLA-A*02:01 phenotype
2020-08-19
Abstract excerpt
An improved understanding of human T-cell-mediated immunity in COVID-19 is important if we are to optimize therapeutic and vaccine strategies. Experience with influenza shows that infection primes CD8 + T-cell memory to shared peptides presented by common HLA types like HLA-A2. Following re-infection, cross-reactive CD8 + T-cells enhance recovery and diminish clinical severity. Stimulating peripheral blood mononuc...
