Understanding host factors driving asymptomatic versus severe disease outcomes is of key importance if we are to control emerging and re-emerging viral infections. HLA-B15:01 has been associated with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in nonhospitalized individuals of European ancestry, with protective immunity attributed to preexisting cross-reactive CD8 T-cells directed against HLA-B15:01-restricted Spike-derived S peptide (B15/SCD8 T-cells). However, fundamental questions remained on the abundance and clonotypic nature of CD8 T-cell responses in HLA-B15:01-positive patients who succumbed to life-threatening COVID-19. Here, we analyzed B15/SCD8 T-cell responses in COVID-19 patients from independent HLA-typed COVID-19 patient cohorts across three continents, Australia, Asia and Europe. We assessed B15/SCD8 T-cells in COVID-19 patients across disease outcomes ranging from asymptomatic to hospitalized critical illness. We found that severe/critical COVID-19 patients mounted B15/SCD8 T-cell responses lacking a highly expanded key public B15/SCD8 T-cell receptor (TCR; TRAV9-2/TRBV7-2) which recurred across multiple individuals in COVID-19 patients with a mild disease. Instead, B15/SCD8 T-cell responses in life-threatening disease had a prevalence of an alternate TCR clonotypic motif (TRAV38-2/DV8/TRBV20-1), potentially contributing, at least in part, to why B15/SCD8 T-cells in severe COVID-19 patients were less protective. Interestingly, the frequency, memory phenotype, and activation profiles of circulating B15/SCD8 T-cells did not differ across disease severity. Moreover, B15/SCD8 T-cells were better maintained into convalescence compared to other SARS-CoV-2-specificities. Our study thus provides evidence on the differential nature of the TCR clonal repertoire in 22.37% of HLA-B15:01-positive COVID-19 patients who developed severe or critical disease in our cohorts, comparing to HLA-B*15:01-expressing individuals with mild COVID-19.
如果我们想要控制新出现和再次出现的病毒感染，了解驱动无症状与严重疾病结果的宿主因素至关重要。HLA - B15:01与欧洲血统的非住院个体中无症状的SARS-CoV-2感染有关，保护性免疫归因于预先存在的针对HLA - B15:01限制性刺突衍生S肽的交叉反应性CD8 T细胞（B15/SCD8 T细胞）。然而，对于死于危及生命的COVID-19的HLA - B15:01阳性患者中CD8 T细胞反应的丰度和克隆型性质，仍存在一些基本问题。在这里，我们分析了来自澳大利亚、亚洲和欧洲三大洲独立进行HLA分型的COVID-19患者队列中的COVID-19患者的B15/SCD8 T细胞反应。我们评估了从无症状到住院危重症等不同疾病结果的COVID-19患者中的B15/SCD8 T细胞。我们发现，重症/危重症COVID-19患者产生的B15/SCD8 T细胞反应缺乏高度扩增的关键公共B15/SCD8 T细胞受体（TCR；TRAV9-2/TRBV7-2），而在轻症COVID-19患者中多个个体都出现这种受体。相反，危及生命疾病中的B15/SCD8 T细胞反应具有另一种TCR克隆型基序（TRAV38-2/DV8/TRBV20-1）的优势，这可能至少部分解释了为什么重症COVID-19患者中的B15/SCD8 T细胞保护性较差。有趣的是，循环B15/SCD8 T细胞的频率、记忆表型和激活谱在不同疾病严重程度之间没有差异。此外，与其他SARS-CoV-2特异性相比，B15/SCD8 T细胞在康复期能更好地维持。因此，我们的研究提供了证据，表明在我们的队列中，22.37%发展为重症或危重症疾病的HLA - B15:01阳性COVID-19患者与轻症COVID-19的HLA - B*15:01表达个体相比，TCR克隆库具有不同的性质。
