As the only test- and blood collection site in Europe, we are able to offer you clinical advise, guidance and further analysis on Covid-19 T-cell immunity response.
Covid-19 T-cell immune response is important
- for the investigation of long-term symptoms (Long Covid)
- to differentiate between immunity due to vaccination and natural infection
- to detect immune response in vaccinated individuals with low antibody response
- to detect past infection in patients with missing antibody titers
- to detect past infection in patients with immunodeficiencies or under immunosuppressive treatment
Latest research indicates that patients under immunosuppresive treatments with glucocoricoids (e.g. cortison, prednison) risk an up to 10-fold reduction in
antibody titers
following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
"patients treated with immunosuppressive therapies exhibit impaired SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced immunity, with glucocorticoids and B cell depletion therapy more severely impeding optimal responses"
