CRP levels are positively correlated with IFNγ producing reactive CD8+ T cells
At last, we explored potential correlations between clinical diagnostic parameters and S-reactive CD4+ or CD8+ T cell frequencies among the PASC study group. We found moderate positive correlation with statistical significance between GOT, GPT and IFNγ producing reactive CD4 T cells as well as between creatinine and TNFα producing reactive CD4+ T cells (table S2). Of interest, we demonstrate a statistically significant positive correlation between CRP and IFNγ producing reactive CD8+ T cells (table S2).
