Reliable Identification of SARS-CoV-2-Specific T-Cell Responses

 

Explore T-Cell Immunity in COVID-19

A deeper understanding of virus-specific T-cell responses to COVID-19 is needed to evaluate vaccine candidates, explore long-term immunity, predict patients at risk, and even prepare for the next pandemic.

Dextramer® technology can help you monitor and characterize SARS-CoV-2- specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in blood, without missing rare or low-affinity cells, in an easy and reproducible way.​

Learn More about T Cells and COVID-19

Frequencies of SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells detected in PBMCs at different time points from a vaccinated convalescent donor with a SARS-CoV-2 MHC I Panel of Non-Spike Epitopes.

SARS-CoV-2 Dextramer® Panels

We provide SARS-CoV-2 Dextramer® reagents in panels targeting Spike or Non-Spike epitopes, each with a selection of validated T-cell epitopes.

Alternatively, select your own custom panel based on our selection of SARS-CoV-2 Dextramer® reagents, or order individual Dextramer® reagents.

The immunodominant SARS-CoV-2 specific T-cell epitopes listed below are known to be present in large populations, based on publications and in-house knowledge, enabling researchers to monitor T-cell immunity across COVID-19 variants.
