Identification of TCR repertoires in functionally competent cytotoxic T cells cross-reactive to SARS-CoV-2
Abstract
Kanako Shimizu et al. identify HLA-A24 high-binding epitopes in the SARS-CoV-2 spike region and investigate their cross-reactivity with CD8+ T cell receptors. These results provide further insight into CD8+ T cell cross-reactivity toward SARS-CoV-2 and may be useful in future strategies for vaccine development.
