Figure Lengend Snippet: In vivo DC maturation and T cell activation in C57BL/6J mice induced by mOVA/H 18 NPs through intravenous injection. C57BL/6J mice were vaccinated with different formulations on Day 0 and Day 5. On Day 10, the spleens of mice were collected and analyzed by flow cytometry. Quantification analysis of (A) CD80 + CD86 + DCs and (B) CD40 + DCs in the spleen. Quantification analysis of (C) CD3 + CD4 + T cells and (D) CD3 + CD8 + T cells in the spleen. (E) Quantification analysis and (F) representative flow cytometry contour plots of OVA-specific CD8 + T cells among all cell populations in the spleen. (G) Quantification analysis and (H) representative flow cytometry contour plots of IFN-γ + CD8 + T cells among all cell populations in the spleen. (I) Quantification results and (J) representative images of IFN- γ -secreting immune cells in the spleen of mice analyzed by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISpot) assay. Data were shown as mean ± SD (n = 3).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Magnitude and specificity of T cell memory responses generated by 899-day infection (A) Ex vivo IFNγ-ELISpot well images. DMSO control unstimulated wells and wells stimulated with overlapping peptides covering S1 and S2 region of Spike (duplicates shown), or single peptides S51 and S134. (B) Total magnitude of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cell response to structural proteins Spike, membrane (M), nucleoprotein (NP) and open reading frame 3a (ORF3a) and RTC proteins (NSP7, NSP12 polymerase, and NSP13 helicase) colored by protein targeted and measured after persistent infection (>900 days). (C and D) Total magnitude of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell response (C) or T cell response to Structural and RTC proteins (D) in pre-pandemic samples (pre-August 2019), in exposed healthcare workers (HCW) who remained seronegative, including abortive infections, and in HCW with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections (samples 4 months post-exposure/infection in June to July 2020) for comparison to T cell response in persistently infected patient. (E) Ratio of the magnitude of the T cell response to RTC/structural T cells. Percentage of cohort with a response above 1 (stronger response to RTC than structural proteins) shown below. (F) Magnitude of T cell response to a pool of epitopes from Flu, EBV, and CMV. (B–E) Subset of data previously published in Swadling et al. (A–F) IFNγ-ELISpot. (C and D) Box and Whisker, Tukey. (C–F) Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis tests with Dunn’s correction. ∗ p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗ p ≤ 0.01; ∗∗∗ p ≤ 0.001; ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. (E and F) Bars, geomean.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Failure of host T cells to recognize emerging virus (A) Ex vivo magnitude of the T cell response to individual ancestral sequence peptides in which mutation arose over persistent infection by IFNγ-ELISpot. (B) Magnitude of the CD4 and CD8 T cell responses after 10-day in vitro peptide expansion with individual ancestral sequence peptides. Percentage of CD4 and CD8 producing IFNγ, TNF, or both are shown. (C) Magnitude of IFNγ+, IFNγ+TNF+, and CTV lo IFNγ+ CD4 and CD8 T cells after 8-day expansion with a pool of 12 peptides corresponding to ancestral sequence epitopes or variant sequence epitopes containing mutations in the virus isolated at day 899 of infection. (D) Magnitude of the IFNγ+TNF+ CD4 or CD8 T cell response after 10-day in vitro peptide stimulation with individual epitopes using ancestral sequence or variant sequence peptides for culture and re-stimulation on day 9. Summary data showing all T cell responses that were detectable (left) or shown for individual peptides (right) for CD4 then CD8 T cells. Duplicate and triplicate stimulations are shown for CD8 T cells for M14 and NSP2, respectively. (D) Bars, mean. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis tests with Dunn’s correction. ∗ p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗∗ p ≤ 0.001. Peptide sequences shown in .
