Summary: Both infection with and vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 can trigger a complex B-cell and T-cell response. Reliable methods for analyzing the B-cell response are well established, but methods for measuring the T-cell response still need to be proven in clinical settings. In this study, a T-cell proliferation assay based on 3H thymidine incorporation was developed and validated. The assay uses SARS-CoV-2 derived peptide pools to stimulate T-cell responses. The novel SARS-CoV-2 lymphocyte transformation test (SARS-CoV-2 LTT) showed excellent discrimination of infected and/or vaccinated individuals versus unexposed controls, with an area under the curve (AUC) of >0.95 in ROC analysis. Furthermore, the assay can also differentiate T-cell responses resulting from vaccination against those induced by infection by using peptide pools representing not only the S protein but also the N and M proteins.
