Deep learning identifies antigenic determinants of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection within T-cell repertoires

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection is characterized by a highly variable clinical course with patients experiencing asymptomatic infection all the way to requiring critical care support. This variation in clinical course has led physicians and scientists to study factors that may predispose certain indiv...
