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.

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.

Spike-specific CD8+ T-cell epitopes in the SARS-CoV-2 Dextramer® Panels, and the conservation of these epitopes across the SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (BA 2.12.1, BA. 4, BA. 5) variants. All epitopes are conserved in the reference strain (NC_045512). Mutations in the epitope are shown in red. Learn more in this Application Note.
