Beyond neutralization for BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination

Payal Damani-Yokota et al. Cell Host Microbe. .

Abstract

Mounting a robust immune response against SARS-CoV-2 requires neutralization as well as effector T cell functions. In this issue of Cell Host Microbe, Tauzin et al. characterize the humoral and T cell responses after a single dose of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in individuals with or without previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2.
