    摘要: The present invention includes compositions and methods for detecting the presence of: a coronavirus or an immune response relevant to a coronavirus infection including T cells responsive to one or more coronavirus peptides or proteins comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of: one or more amino acid sequences selected from those sequences set forth in Tables 1 or 2 (SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 166), or a subsequence, portion, homologue, variant or derivative thereof; a fusion protein comprising one or more amino acid sequences selected from those sequences set forth in Tables 1 or 2 (SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 166); a pool of 2 or more peptides selected from the amino acid sequences set forth in Tables 1 or 2 (SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 166); or a polynucleotide that encodes one or more peptides or proteins, comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of an amino acid sequence selected from those sequences set forth in Tables 1 or 2 (SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 166), or a subsequence, portion, homologue, variant or derivative thereof. The invention further provides vaccines, diagnostics, therapies, and kits, comprising such proteins or peptides.
