1/n Testing CD4/8 immunity to capsid proteins in 100 individuals exposed and unexposed to C-19 is a VERY easy experiment to set up. Challenging them with monocytes carrying the capsid protein (not live virus) is also easy and SAFE.
2/n If these individuals now produce anti-viral responses, we need to understand whether these are protective or not, and can challenge them with Spike to see if they have an accelerated Spike response. Any immunology lab can do this easily.
3/n The results would be extremely interesting. I would do it, but our lab is more suited for onco-immunology. I do have C-19 capsid monocytes if anyone wants (I think)
