Purpose: SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are crucial in viral clearance, disease progression, and reinfection control. However, numerous SARS-CoV-2 immunodominant CTL epitopes theoretically are still unidentified due to the genetic polymorphism of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules.
Methods: The CTL epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 were predicted by the epitope affinity and immunogenicity prediction platforms: the NetMHCpan and the PromPPD.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in the world. Most patients are in the advanced stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis because the symptoms of early gastric cancer patients are not obvious. Early diagnosis of gastric cancer is still challenging due to the high cost, invasiveness, and low accuracy of traditional diagnostic methods such as endoscopy and biopsy.
