[HTML][HTML] Pre-existing immunity to SARS-CoV-2: the knowns and unknowns
T cell reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 was observed in unexposed people; however, the
source and clinical relevance of the reactivity remains unknown. It is speculated that this
reflects T cell memory to circulating 'common cold'coronaviruses. It will be important to
define specificities of these T cells and assess their association with COVID-19 disease
severity and vaccine responses.
