Mishra, Huang et al. identify 29 linear SARS-CoV-2 epitopes that are immunoreactive with the plasma from individuals who had asymptomatic, mild, or severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. This study suggests the possibility of using these peptides to discriminate the exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and other human coronaviruses.
