The host-immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection varies. Some individuals have a strong immune response, resulting in a cytokine storm and debilitating physical symptoms. Others experience only mild symptoms, if any at all. Understanding the host-immune response to SARS-CoV-2 is important for vaccine development efforts, interpreting disease pathogenesis, and calibrating future pandemic control measures. This webinar will explore recent discoveries about the way the immune system responds to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Topics to be covered

• Adaptive immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and common cold coronaviruses
• T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern
