post#16: Gaiha, et al’s approach to the Delta variant was known at least nineteen years ago, and they are not unaware that retrovirus elements such as HIV-1 can integrate into the coronavirus genome.
’Peak infiltration was observed on day 10 p.i. (post-infection) when CD8 T cells accounted for 29-34% of the MNC population in mice infected with both viruses, 37-43% of CNS CD8 T cells expressed T cell receptors specific for the JHMV-N (neurotropic JHM strain of mouse hepatitis virus) epitope as indicated by tetramer staining.’

So likewise, in May of 2019, Gaiha et al published this report:

They are targeting the Delta variant, and glad that you prisoners are late in realizing that variants consist of groups of mutations. Very convenient.

Structural topology defines protective CD8+ T cell epitopes in the HIV proteome - PubMed
Mutationally constrained epitopes of variable pathogens represent promising targets for vaccine design but are not reliably identified by sequence conservation. In this study, we employed structure-based network analysis, which applies network theory to HIV protein structure data to quantitate...
