  • Memory CD8+ T cells are associated with a better outcome in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and recognized as promising vaccine targets against viral infections. This study determined the efficacy of population-dominant and infection-relevant human leukocyte antigens (HLA) class I proteins to present severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) peptides through calculating binding affinities and simulating CD8+ T cell responses. As a result, HLA class I proteins distinguished or shared various viral peptides derived from viruses. HLA class I supertypes clustered viral peptides through recognizing anchor and preferred residues. SARS-CoV-2 peptides overlapped significantly with SARS but minimally with common human coronaviruses. Immune simulation of CD8+ T cell activation using predicted SARS-CoV-2 peptide antigens depended on high-affinity peptide binding, anchor residue interaction, and synergistic presentation of HLA class I proteins in individuals. Results demonstrated that multi-epitope vaccination, employing a strong binding affinity, viral adjuvants, and heterozygous HLA class I genes, induced potent immune responses. Therefore, optimal CD8+ T cell responses can be achieved and customized contingent on HLA class I genotypes in human populations, supporting a precise vaccination strategy to combat COVID-19.
