SARS‐CoV‐2 spike glycoprotein‐reactive T cells can be readily expanded from COVID‐19 vaccinated donors
Abstract Introduction The COVID‐19 vaccine was designed to provide protection against infection by the severe respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). However, the vaccine's efficacy can be compromised in patients with immunodeficiencies or the vaccine‐ind...
