Read more about our study in the full manuscript to learn how BTI influences T cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Stay tuned for updates on our research! 8/8

We also identified novel epitopes recognizing variant-specific mutations, accounting for 9-15% of the total epitope repertoire. This indicates that the T cell response is responding to variant evolution and is able to generate new responses to the evolving virus. 7/8

New findings from @SetteLab, @Alba_Grifoni, and @aetarke!

🔎T cells against alpha or beta common cold #coronaviruses tend to be cross-reactive
🔎These viruses have MANY similarities in epitope sequences
🔎T cells showed cross-reactivity in 89% of tests

Go T cells! How can we be better prepared for upcoming coronaviruses? We focus on the T cell side of the question in a recent collaboration between me @settelab @ljiresearch and Richard Scheuermann @JCVenterInst published in @CellRepMed https://t.co/Q061b9E7ee

[La Jolla Institute @ljiresearch]

Thank you to Dr. Fauci for sharing important LJI #SARSCoV2 findings at the recent @ImmunologyAAI meeting!

This critical research was led by @SetteLab @profshanecrotty @Dani6020 @Alba_Grifoni @aetarke Ricardo Da Silva Antunes and John Sidney 🔬

[Alison Tarke @aetarke]

We found limited cross-reactivity in the sarbeco CoV group (containing SARS2) in our samples collected before the SARS2 pandemic, suggesting that exposure may contribute to the ability of T cells to recognize phylogenetically similar viruses. 5/5

[Alison Tarke @aetarke]

Can CD4+ T cells cross-recognize different coronaviruses (CoV), offering immune protection from potential future CoV pandemics? We explore this concept in our new study, just posted in pre-print. https://t.co/Ps16V9tJGm
@Alba_Grifoni @SetteLab 1/5

[Alison Tarke @aetarke]

We found that T cells can recognize different viruses when the coronavirus sequences were conserved. Specifically, if conservation was >67%, we observed cross-reactivity in 89% of the fragments tested. 4/5
