Emerging mutation in SARS-CoV-2 facilitates escape from NK cell recognition and associates with enhanced viral fitness.
In addition to adaptive immunity, natural killer (NK) cells of the innate immune system contribute to the control of viral infections. The HLA-E-restricted SARS-CoV-2 Nsp13232-240 epitope VMPLSAPTL renders infected cells susceptible to NK cells by preventing binding to the inhibitory receptor NKG2A....
