Identification of similar epitopes between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 and Bacillus Calmette–Guérin: potential for cross‐reactive adaptive immunity

Abstract Objectives Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination has been implicated in protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) and as a non‐specific immunisation method against the virus. We therefore decided to investigate T‐cell and B‐cell epitopes within the...
