Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

ChipCare Corporation

$42,900.00

COVID19 T-cell testing opportunities

FY 2020-21 · 2020-10-01

Summary
Growing evidence suggests that T-cell immunity against the virus is long-lasting and protective against re-infection. ChipCare is investigating a potential assay that will help identify individuals who have been exposed to a SARS corona virus in the past and may therefore have immunity to SARS-CoV2. The purpose of this project is to establish the clinical need, research appropriate markers, define the market opportunity and requirements for such an assay and to assess the suitability of such an assay for use in point-of-care settings using ChipCare’s platform.

Description
Growing evidence suggests that T-cell immunity against the virus is long-lasting and protective against re-infection. ChipCare is investigating a potential assay that will help identify individuals who have been exposed to a SARS corona virus in the past and may therefore have immunity to SARS-CoV2.

Description (French)
De plus en plus de preuves suggèrent que l'immunité des lymphocytes T contre le virus est durable et protège contre la réinfection. ChipCare étudie un test potentiel qui aidera à repérer les personnes qui ont été exposées à un virus corona du SRAS dans le passé et qui pourraient donc être immunisées contre le SRAS-CoV2. Le but de ce projet est d'établir le besoin clinique, de rechercher des indicateurs appropriés, de définir les possibilités et les exigences du marché pour un tel test et d'évaluer la pertinence d'un tel test aux fins d'utilisation dans les points de service en recourant à la plate-forme de ChipCare.
