Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the dynamics of early immune responses to acute respiratory infections (ARIs), focusing on how an individual's immune system reacts before and after symptoms appear.
  • Researchers used a self-sampling method to collect blood and nasal swabs from participants daily for a week and weekly afterward, analyzing samples to monitor immune gene activity and symptom development.
  • A total of 68 participants contributed samples over the study period, with notable findings including that SARS-CoV-2 was detected in various participants, even when they showed no symptoms, offering insights into presymptomatic immune profiles.

Article Synopsis
  • Blood transcriptional profiling is used to evaluate immune responses to infections, but traditional blood collection methods hinder accurate analysis during dynamic infections like COVID-19.
  • A new at-home self-collection method allows participants to collect blood and nasal swabs every other day, enabling high-frequency measurement of immune response during acute SARS-CoV-2 infections.
  • The study found significant differences in immune responses between healthy and COVID-19+ individuals, revealing distinct patterns based on vaccination status, and demonstrating the effectiveness of at-home sampling in tracking immune kinetics.

With this report we aim to make available a standard operating procedure (SOP) developed for RNA stabilization of small blood volumes collected via a finger stick. The anticipation that this procedure may be improved through peer-review and/or readers public comments is another element motivating the publication of this SOP. Procuring blood samples from human subjects can, among other uses, enable assessment of the immune status of an individual subject via the profiling of RNA abundance using technologies such as real time PCR, NanoString, microarrays or RNA-sequencing.
