This study compares SARS-CoV-2 Spike antibody responses between macaques and humans after vaccination or infection, identifying shared and distinct epitope recognition patterns and escape pathways.

This study shows that T cell depletion in rhesus macaques does not cause severe SARS-CoV-2 disease but delays viral clearance, and T cells are not essential for immunological memory or protection against re-infection.

This study shows emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants are more resistant to human interferons, suggesting innate immune evasion plays a key role in their evolution.

This study shows that CCL2 chemokine promotes early HIV reservoir formation by recruiting CCR2/5+ CD4 T cells to sites of inflammation during acute infection.
