Early induction of functional SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells associates with rapid viral clearance and mild disease in COVID-19 patients tan2021early

Measured SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the upper respiratory tract, along with SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies and T cell responses, at multiple time points from acute infection through convalescence or until death.

Analytes

swab_SARSCoV2_N

The swab_SARSCoV2_N analyte refers to the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in patient oropharyngeal swabs, using RT-PCR cycle threshold (CT) values to calculate the relative quantities of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. 10^(-11) was the detection limit, which was transformed as CT value equals 36.5. Data was obtained from the combined dataset in the supplementary materials of Challenger et al. (2022)
