CD4 + T cells are central to long-term immunity against viruses through the functions of T helper-1 (Th1) and T follicular helper (Tfh) cell subsets. To better understand the role of these subsets in COVID-19 immunity, we conducted a longitudinal study of SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4 + T cell and antibody responses in convalescent subjects who seroconverted during the first wave of the pandemic in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, across a range of COVID-19 disease severities. Analyses of spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) epitope-specific CD4 + T cells using peptide and major histocompatibility complex class II (peptide:MHCII) tetramers demonstrated expanded populations of T cells recognizing the different SARS-CoV-2 epitopes in most subjects compared to pre-pandemic controls. Individuals who experienced a milder disease course not requiring hospitalization had a greater percentage of circulating Tfh (cTfh) and Th1 cells among SARS-CoV-2-specific cells. Analysis of SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4 + T cells responses in a subset of individuals with sustained anti-S antibody responses following viral clearance also revealed an increased proportion of memory cTfh cells. Our findings indicate efficient early disease control also predicts favorable long-term adaptive immunity.

SARS-CoV-2 表位特异性 CD4 + 记忆 T 细胞对 COVID-19 疾病严重程度和抗体耐久性的反应

CD4 + T 细胞通过 T helper-1 (Th1) 和 T 滤泡辅助 (Tfh) 细胞亚群的功能对病毒的长期免疫至关重要。为了更好地了解这些亚群在 COVID-19 免疫中的作用,我们对在马萨诸塞州波士顿的第一波大流行期间发生血清转化的恢复期受试者进行了 SARS-CoV-2 特异性 CD4 + T 细胞和抗体反应的纵向研究,美国,跨越一系列 COVID-19 疾病严重程度。使用肽和主要组织相容性复合物 II 类(肽:MHCII)四聚体对刺突 (S) 和核衣壳 (N) 表位特异性 CD4 + T 细胞的分析表明,大多数受试者中识别不同 SARS-CoV-2 表位的 T 细胞数量增加与大流行前的控制相比。经历较轻病程且不需要住院治疗的个体在 SARS-CoV-2 特异性细胞中循环 Tfh (cTfh) 和 Th1 细胞的比例更高。对病毒清除后具有持续抗 S 抗体反应的一部分个体的 SARS-CoV-2 特异性 CD4 + T 细胞反应的分析也显示记忆性 cTfh 细胞的比例增加。我们的研究结果表明,有效的早期疾病控制也预示着有利的长期适应性免疫。对病毒清除后具有持续抗 S 抗体反应的一部分个体的 SARS-CoV-2 特异性 CD4 + T 细胞反应的分析也显示记忆性 cTfh 细胞的比例增加。我们的研究结果表明,有效的早期疾病控制也预示着有利的长期适应性免疫。对病毒清除后具有持续抗 S 抗体反应的一部分个体的 SARS-CoV-2 特异性 CD4 + T 细胞反应的分析也显示记忆性 cTfh 细胞的比例增加。我们的研究结果表明,有效的早期疾病控制也预示着有利的长期适应性免疫。
