SARS-CoV-2-derived peptides define heterologous and COVID-19-induced T cell recognition

Annika Nelde et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell epitopes were identified in convalescent and unexposed individuals, showing cross-reactivity with common cold coronaviruses. The diversity of SARS-CoV-2 T cell responses may be associated with mild symptoms of COVID-19.

Predicted Cellular Immunity Population Coverage Gaps for SARS-CoV-2 Subunit Vaccines and Their Augmentation by Compact Peptide Sets

Ge Liu et al.

Summary: The research found that some individuals may not robustly display SARS-CoV-2 subunit peptides by MHC molecules, and introduced an augmentation strategy to improve the population coverage of pathogen peptide display by adding a small number of SARS-CoV-2 peptides.

mRNA vaccine-elicited antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and circulating variants

Zijun Wang et al.

Summary: Volunteers who received the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine showed high levels of antibodies and memory B cell responses against SARS-CoV-2, with activity similar to individuals who had recovered from natural infection. However, their efficacy against specific SARS-CoV-2 variants was reduced, indicating a potential need for periodic updates to mRNA vaccines to maintain clinical efficacy.

Identification and characterization of a SARS-CoV-2 specific CD8+ T cell response with immunodominant features

Anastasia Gangaev et al.

Summary: This study identified a range of SARS-CoV-2 CD8(+) T cell responses across COVID-19 patients, including an epitope from ORF1ab with immunodominant features. The specific CD8(+) T cell responses can still be detectable up to 5 months after recovery from critical and severe disease, converting from dysfunctional effector cells to functional memory cells during convalescence.

Profiling SARS-CoV-2 HLA-I peptidome reveals T cell epitopes from out-of-frame ORFs

Shira Weingarten-Gabbay et al.

Summary: T cell-mediated immunity plays a crucial role in controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection, with some peptides derived from internal out-of-frame ORFs in spike and nucleocapsid eliciting stronger T cell responses than canonical peptides. Early expressed viral proteins contribute more to HLA-I presentation and immunogenicity, providing insights for vaccine development and immune monitoring.

HLA and AB0 Polymorphisms May Influence SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19 Severity

Antonio Amoroso et al.

Summary: The study suggests that HLA antigens may influence SARS-CoV-2 infection and the clinical evolution of COVID-19, while individuals with blood group A are at a greater risk of infection. These findings provide insights into the spread of the disease and may offer indications for infection prognosis and vaccination strategies.

Characterization of pre-existing and induced SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells

Isabel Schulien et al.

Summary: The study found that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces and forms functionally competent memory CD8(+) T cell responses, which can persist in some SARS-CoV-2 convalescent individuals. Even in the absence of virus-specific antibodies, these virus epitope-specific CD8(+) T cell responses are induced following infection.
