…of IFN-y T-cell responses by ELISpot assay in cryopreserved PBMCs, using a 15-mer overlapping peptide (OLP) library of 2,790 SARS-CoV-2 peptides in 100 pools. Results: We identified immunodominant T-cell responses…
…our novel Immunoinformatics Analysis Pipeline (IMAP), we identified 33 mutationally-constrained and unique Gag-derived HIV epitopes (Gag-IMAP-peptides). The response to these peptides was determined in NC- and TC-derived CD8 T-cells by…
