| Abstract | Cross-reactive immunity is a process by which an individual who was vaccinated by an unrelated vaccine or who has recovered from an infection from an unconnected pathogen in the past is seemingly protected against an infection by SARS-CoV-2. A key step for an individual to mount a successful immune response to a pathogenic infection is for a human antibody to recognize and bind to a specific epitope (fragment) from an antigenic protein from the infecting pathogen.
