Caption

Schematic depiction of how the peptide VYIGDPAQL ("VYI") can be presented by the MHC class I molecule HLA-A*24:02 and how this may contribute to CCCoV-induced CD8+ T cell memory against SARS-CoV-2. The map represents the geographical mainland of Japan. The depicted HLA-A*24:02 structure is based on PDB accession 3I6L.
