Performance of the T-SPOTⓇ.COVID test for detecting SARS-CoV-2-responsive T cells
Objective: To evaluate the performance of the T-SPOT.COVID test for identifying SARS-CoV-2-responsive T-cells in participants with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: The T-SPOT.COVID test uses ELISpot interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) methodology to measure T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 an...

Methods: The T-SPOT.COVID test uses ELISpot interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) methodology to measure T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 and nucleocapsid peptides. T-SPOT.COVID and anti-N immunoglobulin (Ig) G serology tests were performed on blood from 186 patients with nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT)-confirmed-SARS-CoV-2 infection and 100 control group participants. Results: In the 2–8 weeks after NAAT-diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection, the T-SPOT.COVID test detected 98.4% (63 of 64) of infected participants, while anti-N IgG serology detected 82.8%. In the first 2 weeks after diagnosis, during adaptive immune response activation, there were less reactive T-SPOT.COVID responses (75.7%, 28 of 37 infected participants) and many less seropositive responses (32.4%). Response numbers tapered after 8 weeks; however, T-SPOT.COVID test continued to detect most participants with confirmed infection (83.6%, 56 of 67) and continued to out-perform serology (52.2%). T-SPOT.COVID response due to cross-reactive T cells was ruled out by demonstrating that, of 44 control group participants with T cells responsive to 4 human common cold coronavirus peptides, only 1 was T-SPOT.COVID reactive. Conclusion: The T-SPOT.COVID test performed well in detecting SARS-CoV-2-sensitized T-cells over many months.Margaret KruseChris DarkMegan AspdenDaniel CochraneRick CompetielloMaya PeltzLuis TorresPeter Wrighton-SmithMagdalena DudekElsevierarticleT-SPOT.COVIDCOVID-19SARS-CoV-2interferon-gamma release assayIGRAserologyInfectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216ENInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol 113, Iss , Pp 155-161 (2021) |
