MIViral: Mucosal Immunity: Influence on Infectious Viral Load: a Prospective Observational Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the influence of pre-existing mucosal immunity, i.e. antibodies and immune cells that are present at the nasal mucosa before infection, on the infectious viral load after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus. We will include app 320 participants which will be followed for 6 months. We will monitor their nasal mucosal antibodies at regular intervals (once per month) and compare that to their infectious viral load if they are infected with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus.
