Study summary

Accuracy validation of the designed and manufactured ELISpot-based in vitro diagnostic 'Corona-T-test' for detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells.

Read the detailed description

The investigators enrolled three independent cohorts of vaccinated (n = 69), convalescent (n = 50), and healthy but unvaccinated individuals (n = 101). Further, they estimated the T cell response to the designed peptide antigen panel, as measured by the manufactured ELISpot-based in vitro diagnostic 'Corona-T-test' to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells.
