Negative spike test

[Barclays]

Just tested negative for spike test for Covid with low blood CLL readings after 1st Oxford jab hope second one produces some immunity

[Pacificview]

When did you get your first shot?

[Barclays in reply to Pacificview]

Six weeks ago

[Pacificview in reply to Barclays]

A phase two study on 560 participants in India ( half were over 70) found this. After 1st shot it provoked a tcell response within 14days. An antibody response within 28 days of booster shot. Article made no mention of any participants being CLL patients.

Let’s hope that’s right

[Pacificview in reply to Barclays]

I seem to recall another article that we talked about here within recent days.Its the second shot thats important for the immune compromised get at proper timing.

[Pacificview in reply to Barclays]

You are early watch and wait. With a slightly immune compromised system. You will probobly end up with some good protection after the second shot as described in the article. You still have a lot of healthy Bcells and we dont have a tcell disease. My understanding is that the tcell response to these vaccines are the most durable.Personally, I doubt very much that a treatment naive watch and wait patient with almost normal numbers. After having been fully vacinated will be taken out by covid.

Many thanks you’ve certainly put my mind at rest

[Susanbarratt in reply to Pacificview]

Thankyou I only joined today and you've been encouraging. My husband was diagnosed 18 months ago after a routine cholesterol test and is on watch and wait. The results published so far for the vaccination are disappointing. The lifting of lockdown is worrying.

Sorry to hear that. But you may still have developed some immune response, e.g. your memory T cells

[Barclays in reply to Alobs]

Hope so but don’t really understand it all

[Alobs in reply to Barclays]

Nor do I...but I think the T cells may have memorised the immune response after the jab, so the immune system can respond to any C19 infection by producing the neutralising antibody B cells.

Hi Barclays, I did the same! My consultant said that they are finding CLL patients need their second jab to see any real immunity. Roll on that second jab !

[Barclays in reply to Trish67]

Thanks my second jab is due end of April

[Pacificview in reply to Barclays]

Get all the vaccinations you can while you still have a fairly healthy immune system.

Hi, I had the vaccine 8 weeks ago, Covid19 6 weeks ago.... test my Spike protein Neutralising antibodies weekly..... still non detected. I am resigned to not having any and thus not travelling abroad once immunity passports are introduced for travel.

[Poodle2 in reply to stevesmith1964]

This is very disappointing to hear...I had covid 2.5 months ago and it was truly awful and I had the jab a week ago. To think that I might get it again...it's depressing really. I hope it's not just the B cells that play the important role in generating immunity.

Barclays -

Which spike test did you get? Was it the Qualitative test, the Semi-Quantitative, or the Quantitative, or something else?

[Barclays in reply to SeymourB]

Not sure it was the kit from test for all after a vaccine jab test

[SeymourB in reply to Barclays]

Was it this one?
