Functional identification of SARS-CoV-2 CD8+ T cell epitopes.

1Peptide name is based on the protein they are contained within, followed by the number of the first to the last amino acid residue of the peptide in the context of the full protein. Sequences contained within the "spike" peptide library correspond with SARS-CoV spike. 2Exact amino acid residues of peptide used to stimulate splenocytes. 3 Average fold over background IFN-γ+ CD8+T cells stimulated with listed peptides. Background is defined as the frequency of IFN-γ+ CD8+T cells in a well stimulated with vehicle control. The average and standard deviation are from three independent experiments.
