Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8 T cells play a crucial role in protecting against viral variants and reducing disease severity, especially in patients lacking cross-reactive antibodies.
- mRNA vaccines elicit strong immune responses, but the effectiveness among patients with chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorders (IMIDs), particularly those on TNF inhibitors (TNFi), is less understood.
- Analysis revealed that both TNFi-treated and untreated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients generate strong spike-specific CD8 T cell responses after mRNA vaccination, comparable to healthy individuals, indicating that vaccination is beneficial regardless of treatment status.
