The T-cell response to SARS-CoV- 2 vaccination persists beyond six months in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with rituximab by Juliette Marin, Penelope Bourgoin, Noemie Saverna, Celia Cartagena, Pierre Lafforgue, Jean-Marc Busnel, Nathalie Balandraud

“…T-cell activation was assessed by measuring CD69, CD154, CD137 and CD107a surface expression. Results As expected, even if a lower mean antibody titer was measured in RA patients receiving RTX (RA RTX) than in RA patients treated with therapies other than RTX (p = 0.034), all patients exhibited CD4 + and CD8 + T-cell spike protein-specific responses, with an even greater spike-specific CD8 + T-cell response in RA RTX patients (p < 0.001). …”
