  • An interesting new paper by Marc Lipsitch and co-authors, "Cross-reactive memory T cells and herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2", has recently been published. (wattsupwiththat.com)
  • They argue that key potential impacts of cross- reactive T cell memory are already incorporated into epidemiological models based on data of transmission dynamics, particularly with regard to their implications for herd immunity. (wattsupwiththat.com)
  • The first point to make is that cross-reactive T cells were never thought to be the main cause of the herd immunity threshold (HIT) [2] being lower for COVID-19 than the oft-quoted {1 - 1/R0} level, which generally applies for vaccination. (wattsupwiththat.com)
  • Lipsitch and co-authors note that recent reports have shown that SARS- CoV-2 cross-reactive memory T cells, very largely CD4 + T-cells arising from previous exposure to circulating common cold coronaviruses, are detectable in ~28-50% of individuals not exposed to SARS- CoV-2. (wattsupwiththat.com)
