Another feature of PASC is the lower and more rapidly waning N-specific CD8+ T cell responses (IFNγ-/CD107a+ and IFNγ+); this lower frequency of degranulating virus-specific CD8+ T cells in individuals with PASC could be attributed either to the decreased functional capacity of these cells or dysfunction of the immune response [150]. The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is long COVID-19.
