T-detect COVID test

^[1]^[2]

Indications

evaluation of recent or prior infection with SARS-CoV2
- patients should be >= 15 days post-symptom onset Mecbanism of action:
next generation sequencing based test to aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive T cell immune response to SARS-CoV-2
analyzes DNA sequences from T cells to identify individuals with an adaptive T cell immune response to SARS-CoV-2
a T cell response may be detected in blood several days after initial infection

test was built with machine learning^[2]
- the approach involves mapping SARS CoV2 antigens to their matching receptors on the surface of T cells^[2]
