The identification of a SARs-CoV2 S1 protein derived peptide with super-antigen-like stimulatory properties on T-cells
The identification of a SARs-CoV2 S1 protein derived peptide with super-antigen-like stimulatory properties on T-cells

A peptide derived from the SARS-CoV-2 S1 spike protein, named P3, can stimulate a significant portion of human T cells.

This stimulation leads to increased production of inflammatory cytokines and granzyme B.

SARS-CoV-2 can trigger an overactive immune response, leading to the release of large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
SARS-CoV-2 can trigger an overactive immune response, leading to the release of large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

“SARS-CoV-2 can trigger an overactive immune response, leading to the release of large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

This excessive cytokine release can cause widespread inflammation, leading to damage in various organs, including the lungs, heart, and kidneys.”
