Longitudinal kinetics of the viral infection biomarker 3′-deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro-cytidine in SARS-CoV-2, influenza A virus and RSV human challenge models

Abstract 3’-deoxy-3’,4’-didehydro-cytidine (ddhC) is a recently discovered host biomarker for viral infections, though its temporal kinetics remain unclear. This study tests the hypothesis that ddhC is an acute phase reactant, rising shortly after viral infection and subsequently falling to baseline...
