We describe T cell responses to #Omicron compared to original SARS-CoV-2 in ppl vaxxed with JnJ (1x and 2x) and Pfizer (2x). We also studied Omicron-infected patients and compared their T cells to patients hospitalised in previous waves (n=138 participants in total).
Why did we do this study?
Omicron has >30 mutations in its Spike protein, and many studies now show that this knocks out a lot of the neutralising antibody binding sites. 💩
We wanted to check if other parts of the immune system - T cells - still recognise Omicron Spike. 🎯
