Interleukin-2 and Regulatory T Cells in Rheumatic Diseases
[Nature Reviews Rheumatology] Restoration of Treg cell fitness and/or expansion of their numbers using low-dose natural IL-2, the main cytokine driving Treg cell survival and function, has demonstrated clinical efficacy in early clinical trials.

Mass Spectrometric Identification of Immunogenic SARS-CoV-2 Epitopes and Cognate TCRs
[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Researchers found that, in contrast to current convention, “immunodominant” SARS-CoV-2 peptides defined by in silico methods often failed to elicit T cell responses recognizing naturally presented SARS-CoV-2 epitopes.
