Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Memory T cells established by seasonal human influenza A infection cross-react with avian influenza A (H5N1) in healthy individuals

TL;DR: Ex vivo analysis of cross-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cell responses to overlapping peptides spanning the full proteome of influenza A and influenza A in healthy individuals from the United Kingdom and Viet Nam shows that vaccine formulas inducing heterosubtypic T cell-mediated immunity may confer broad protection against avian and human influenza A viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longitudinal COVID-19 profiling associates IL-1Ra and IL-10 with disease severity and RANTES with mild disease.

TL;DR: The chemokine RANTES(CCL5) was significantly elevated, from an early stage of the infection, in patients with mild but not severe disease, and early production of inhibitory mediators including IL-10 and IL-1RA were significantly associated with disease severity, suggesting early intervention to increase expression of CCL5 may prevent patients from developing severe illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-induced transmembrane protein-3 genetic variant rs12252-C is associated with severe influenza in Chinese individuals

TL;DR: It is reported that the CC genotype is found in 69% of Chinese patients with severe pandemic influenza A H1N1/09 virus infection compared with 25% in those with mild infection, and its effect translates to a large population-attributable risk of 54.3% for severe infection in the Chinese population studied.
