TWiV 736: Rhapsody in T with Alessandro Sette

<p>Alessandro Sette joins TWiV to discuss the role of T cells in COVID-19, the finding that amino acid changes in SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have a negligible impact on T cell reactivity in convalescent patients and vaccinees, and whether a next generation vaccine should include more viral proteins than spike.</p> <p>Hosts: <a href= "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Racaniello">Vincent Racaniello,</a> <a href="http://www.alandove.com/">Alan Dove</a>, <a href= "http://www.mgm.ufl.edu/faculty/faculty-home-pages/condit-richard-c/"> Rich Condit</a>, and <a href= "https://sites.google.com/a/umich.edu/spindler-lab/">Kathy Spindler</a></p> <p>Guest: <a href="https://www.lji.org/labs/sette/">Alessandro Sette</a></p> <p>Subscribe (free): <a href= "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=300973784">iTunes</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL3R3aXYubWljcm9iZXdvcmxkLmxpYnN5bnByby5jb20vdHdpdg%3D%3D">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href= "http://twiv.microbeworld.libsynpro.com/twiv">RSS</a>, <a href="http://eepurl.com/Gcw59">email</a></p> <p>Become a <a href= "https://www.microbe.tv/contribute">patron</a> of TWiV!</p> <h3><strong>Links for this episode</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Little impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on <a href= "https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.27.433180v1">T cell reactivity</a> (bioRxiv)</li> <li><a href="https://nido2021.nl/scientific-program.php">NIDO 2021 Symposium</a></li> <li><a href= "https://towson.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=2100003H&lang=en"> Postdoctoral position</a> at Towson University</li> <li>ASV hosts free COVID-19 Vaccine Education Town Halls (register <a title="https://asv.org/education/" href= "https://asv.org/education/">here</a>)</li> <li><a href="https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-736-letters/">Letters read</a> on TWiV 736</li> <li>Timestamps by <a href= "http://www.twitter.com/jrrmicro">Jolene</a>.
