It can be assumed that the cellular adaptive immunity developed against 504-GLALLACAGL-513-immunodominant epitope could recognize 219-LALLLLDRL-227-HLA-A*02:01 complexes originating from SARS-CoV-2 infection and initiate immune response which probably contributes to the early recovery of COVID-19 patients in malaria-endemic regions. Here, HLA-A is linked to COVID-19.
