Popis: Immunodominance is a complex and highly debated topic of T cell biology. The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has provided the opportunity to profile adaptive immune responses and determine molecular factors contributing to emerging responses towards immunodominant viral epitopes. Here, we discuss parameters that alter the dynamics of CD8 viral epitope processing, generation and T-cell responses, and how immunodominance counteracts viral immune escape mechanisms that develop in the context of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
