Broad and strong memory CD4 + and CD8 + T cells induced by SARS-CoV-2 in UK convalescent individuals following COVID-19.

TL;DR: The identification of T cell responses associated with milder disease will support an understanding of protective immunity and highlights the potential of including non-spike proteins within future COVID-19 vaccine design.

Broad and strong memory CD4+and CD8+T cells induced by SARS-CoV-2 in UK convalescent COVID-19 patients

TL;DR: The identification of T cell specificity and functionality associated with milder disease, highlights the potential importance of including non-spike proteins within future COVID-19 vaccine design.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bacteriology of pleural infection (TORPIDS): an exploratory metagenomics analysis through next generation sequencing

TL;DR: Pleural infection is a predominantly polymicrobial infection, explaining the requirement for broad spectrum antibiotic cover in most individuals, and dominance of Enterobacteriaceae was associated with higher risk of death and lower survival.
Posted ContentDOI

Memory cytotoxic SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-specific CD4+ T cells associate with viral control

TL;DR: This study investigates CD4+ T-cell responses to three dominant SARS-CoV-2 epitopes and evaluates antiviral activity, including cytotoxicity and antiviral cytokine production, and highlights the unique features of cytotoxic CD4-cells that use distinct functional pathways, providing preventative and therapeutic opportunities.
