Specific detection of memory T‐cells in COVID‐19 patients using standardized whole‐blood Interferon gammarelease assay
Antigen‐specific T‐cells are essential for protective immunity against SARS‐CoV‐2. We set up a semi‐automated whole‐blood Interferon‐gamma release assay (WB IGRA) to monitor the T‐cell response after stimulation with SARS‐CoV‐2 peptide pools. We report that the WB IGRA is complementary to serologica...

Zusammenfassung: | Antigen‐specific T‐cells are essential for protective immunity against SARS‐CoV‐2. We set up a semi‐automated whole‐blood Interferon‐gamma release assay (WB IGRA) to monitor the T‐cell response after stimulation with SARS‐CoV‐2 peptide pools. We report that the WB IGRA is complementary to serological assays to assess SARS‐CoV‐2 immunity. |
