Abstract
The rapid evolution of COVID-19 Omicron variants is driven by evasion of neutralizing antibodies. Breakthrough infections are common, even in highly vaccinated populations, making it vital to understand immune cross-protective repertoires to variants. Two studies in this issue show that the primed T cell repertoire comprises strong cross-recognition of current variants.
