Host response-based screening to identify undiagnosed cases of COVID-19and expand testing capacity 2020-06-05 .txt text/plain 3393 215 64 Based 25 on previous work, we hypothesized that an elevated level of the interferon inducible protein 26 CXCL10 in the nasopharynx could serve as a sensitive screen for patients with an active 27 respiratory virus infection including SARS-CoV2 2 . Protein measurements lend themselves to 30 rapid, high throughput, and point-of care diagnostic methodologies 3,4 , so this combined strategy 31 offers the potential to have a first step which is sensitive and convenient (CXCL10 assay) 32 followed by a more specific test (PCR) for a subset of screen-positive patients. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.04.20109306 doi: medRxiv preprint Previously, we found that the CXCL10 level in the NP swab viral transport medium was a useful 45 indicator of infection with many common respiratory viruses 2 , suggesting that this measurement 46 could be used to indicate which of these 376 samples were most likely to contain a virus not 47 detected by the RVP. ./cache/cord-301251-6f2nzvhz.txt ./txt/cord-301251-6f2nzvhz.txt
