As shown in Fig. 1 , higher frequencies of IFN␥producing SFUs were observed for in vitro-expanded PBMCs from SARS subject 1 compared to the healthy individual, suggesting the presence of SARS-specific memory T cells at 9 years post-infection. In another study looking at SARSspecific memory T cell responses in SARS-recovered individuals at 4 years post-infection, 28.75% of them presented T cell responses to M peptides [22] , further supporting the role of M protein in eliciting dominant cellular immunity during SARS-CoV infection. In SARS subject 1 at 6 years post-infection, a HLA-B*1525-restricted memory CD8 + T cell response targeting the N53 peptide, corresponding to residues 261-275 of N protein, was detected. ./cache/cord-257792-m7nij17v.txt ./txt/cord-257792-m7nij17v.txt
