“…As an application of these data, we trained a classifier to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infection based solely on TCR sequencing from blood samples, and observed, at 99.8% specificity, high early sensitivity soon after diagnosis (Day 3–7 = 85.1% [95% CI = 79.9–89.7]; Day 8–14 = 94.8% [90.7–98.4]) as well as lasting sensitivity after recovery (Day 29+/convalescent = 95.4% [92.1–98.3]).DiscussionThe approaches described in this work provide detailed insights into the adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and they have potential applications in clinical diagnostics, vaccine development, and monitoring.…”
