CD8A and COVID-19: We first probed for SARS-CoV-2−specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in convalescent COVID-19 donors using a standard 6-h intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assay using peptide pools containing 15mers, overlapping by 11 amino acids, which spanned the entire N and M proteins and selected regions of SARS-CoV-2 S protein.
