COVID-19 Immune Repertoire Sequencing

Completed
Conditions
RDT
COVID
SARS-CoV 2
Corona Virus Infection
B Cell
Registration Number
NCT04368143
Lead Sponsor
Institute of Tropical Medicine, Belgium
Brief Summary

This concerns a single-center prospective interventional cohort study. Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients will be asked to donate blood at at least two different timepoints. This will allow us to investigate T and B cell evolutions during the course of infection and recovery. The expected duration of the study is four months or the total duration of the SARS-CoV-2 circulation in Belgium (whichever is shortest).
