How T Cell Tests Could Trump Antibody Tests in the Detection of COVID-19

XTalks

A new type of test based on detection of activated T cells may prove to have greater utility in determining whether someone has had a COVID-19 infection compared to a traditional antibody test. Researchers at Adaptive Biotechnologies compared T-Detect to a commercial antibody test from DiaSorin on samples obtained from people in Vo’, Italy.
