Abstract During of COVID-19 pandemic, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has continuously evolved, resulting in the emergence of several new variants of concerns (VOCs) with numerous mutations. These VOCs dominate in various regions due to increased transmissibility and antibody evasion, potentially reducing vaccine effectiveness. Nonetheless, it remains uncertain whether the recent SARS-CoV-2 VOCs have the ability to circumvent the T cell immunity elicited by either COVID-19 vaccination or natural infection. To address this, we conducted in-silico analysis to examine the impact of VOC-specific mutations at the epitope level and T cell cross-reactivity with the ancestral SARS-CoV-2. According to the in-silico investigation, T cell responses triggered by immunization or prior infections still recognize the variants in spite of mutations. These variants are expected to either maintain their dominant epitope HLA patterns or bind with new HLAs, unlike the epitopes of the ancestral strain. Our findings indicate that a significant proportion of immuno-dominant CD8 + and CD4 + epitopes are conserved across all the variants, implying that existing vaccines might maintain efficacy against new variations. However, further in-vitro and in-vivo studies are needed to validate the in-silico results and fully elucidate immune sensitivities to VOCs.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
