I'm very confused by this paper and the linked citation. The link citation titled "Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 (previously 2019-nCoV) infection by a highly potent pan-coronavirus fusion inhibitor targeting its spike protein that harbors a high capacity to mediate membrane fusion" has nothing to do with T cells. In this study the authors use a human kidney cell line, 293T, to study if they can inhibit cell fusion mediated by the SARS-CoV2 spike protein using a novel inhibitor EK1C4. So either the author linked the wrong paper to her publication or she misunderstood the paper cited.
