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. The cell-based tests are designed to identify specific T cells that are activated in response to a pathogen — which in this case would be SARS-CoV-2.
