HLA-A and malaria: Both epitopes have been reported to stimulate CD8+ T-lymphocyte response through the HLA-A.02:01 recognition and it has been suggested that the memory of the cellular adaptive immunity mounted against the TRAP-immunodominant epitope could recognize the 219-LALLLLDRL-227–HLA-A*02:01 complexes originating from SARS-CoV-2 infection in malaria-endemic regions and trigger an immune response (27).
