The cellular immunity test will help determine the indications for vaccination against COVID-19. EXCLUSIVE

A cellular immunity test will help determine the indications for vaccination against coronavirus. The Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Director of the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after V.I. Pasteur, Doctor of Medicine, Professor Areg Totolyan.

“If he gets a start in life, we will have a convenient tool for selecting people who are indicated for either vaccination or revaccination. If we proceed from the assumption that the acquired immunity as a result of the disease is not lifelong, but it will need to be restored periodically, then revaccination will be required, and the skin test will work to fulfill this task, ”Totolyan said.

At the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after V.I. Pasteur is now moving into the testing phase. They said that testing does not require special conditions, it is done in a regular vaccination or treatment room. The antigen is injected intradermally, as in the Mantoux test.

“It's the same, only instead of tuberculin, instead of the antigen for mycobacterium tuberculosis, another antigen is introduced, which is characteristic of the current strain of coronavirus. It is not the coronavirus itself that is being introduced, not its fragments, but a hybrid protein is made, from the most important areas of the coronavirus that are most interesting for the immune system, ”the scientist added.

After 72 hours, the skin test will have to be evaluated by a physician. He will determine if the person needs a vaccination or a booster shot.
