[Pre-print, not peer-reviewed]<\/i> Blood samples from 100 convalescent donors 6 months after their initial SARS-CoV-2 infection found that T-cell responses against SARS-CoV-2 were present in all donors. The median response was 50% higher among donors with an initial symptomatic infection. T-cell responses to both spike and nucleoprotein\/membrane proteins strongly correlated with peak antibody levels against each respective protein. A reduced rate of antibody level decline was strongly correlated with the magnitude of T-cell response, though this relationship was only observed for antibodies specific to the nucleoprotein.<\/p>\n
