T-cell mechanism of protection against SARS-CoV-2: CD4/CD8 CTL recognize virally infected cells via MHC-peptide TCR interaction, which leads to killing of the virally infected cells (A). Th1 cell-secreted cytokines mediate antiviral effect (B). TFH cells help in the generation and maintenance of antibody response by helping B cells (C).
