T cells: Important building blocks of immune protection against SARS-CoV-2
It is becoming increasingly clear that not only antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 play a role in building immunity against the coronavirus. T cells, as part of the cellular immune response, also have a major function in the development of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2. Findings from research into immunity to related viruses such as SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV (Middle-East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) have shown that cellular immune responses against these coronaviruses […]
