Abstract: In the spring of 2020, we and others hypothesized that T cells in COVID-19 patients may recognize identical protein fragments shared between the coronaviruses of the common cold and COVID-19 and thereby confer cross-virus immune… read more here.

Abstract: Recent studies confirmed that people unexposed to SARS-CoV-2 have preexisting reactivity, probably due to previous exposure to widely circulating common cold coronaviruses. Such preexistent reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 comes from memory T cells that can specifically… read more here.
