Understanding Long COVID
Through CD8+ T Cell Responses

SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells from people with long COVID establish and maintain effector phenotype and key TCR signatures over two years

5 min. interview with David Gate on CXCR3 expressing peripheral T cells and Alzheimer disease.

I wonder if thiamine deficiency increases CXCR3 expression?

“This study represents a significant scientific breakthrough, as it shifts the paradigm in the understanding of MHC Class II peptides and their recognition by CD4+ T cells.”

🥁 One of the #SIBRemarkableOutputs 2023 👏

SO CLOSE!!!
They’re so close to getting it😩
It’s inflammation🙄
It’s only the vulnerable🙄

There’s no excuse for this level of stupidity. NONE.

Saw a Tern post about 🚘accidents, & having been in one pretty crazy Vin Diesel one myself tipped off by a fender bender I didn’t fix months earlier… that metaphor analogy is something people will have to learn the hard way apparently

" The insights derived from this analysis do not only support a CD19 CAR T cell-mediated reset of the memory B cell compartment, but also the parallel inhibition of the interferon signature
in #monocytes and #Tcells of #SLE patients"

Striking that this apparently works better in getting rid of certain memory #Bcells than anti-CD20 antibodies.

Impressive new work by Moravec et al. in Nature Biotechnology, sadly not open source. "... a #HighThroughput personalized #TCR discovery pipeline ..." with which they "...identified dozens of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell-derived TCRs with potent tumor reactivity, including TCRs that recognized patient-specific #neoantigens."

The after-effects associated with long COVID could result from the death of T4 lymphocytes during the acute phase

lapresse.ca/actualites/covid-1

> study of 29 people treated for COVID-19 at the University Hospital of Nîmes, France. In the months following hospitalization, nineteen patients suffered from long COVID, while the other ten had no after-effects.

> the percentage of T4 lymphocytes engaged in a form of programmed cell death (apoptosis) was 37% in the long COVID group and 24% in the other group. By way of comparison, in healthy subjects, the percentage of T4 lymphocytes undergoing apoptosis is approximately 20%; this percentage is comparable to that of patients who have recovered well from their infection, but it is almost half that of patients who have had after-effects.
