Question 1
Aim of the experiment
The aim of this experiment is to see if the patient has developed enough T-cell immunity
to protect against the sars-cov-2 peptides.

Question 2
Results
Table 1 shows the vitality of cells in target cells, high effective peptide and low effective peptide,
which is the inverse of the activity of T-cell lymphocytes. This is measured with a spectrophotometer
at 490 nm.

Figure 1: shows the absorption, measured at 490 nm with a spectrophotometer, of the different
situations.

First for all repeats (A-D) per blanc, target cells only and the high- and low effective
peptide the average was calculated. After this, the average value of the blanc was
subtracted from the averages to account for background absorbance.
In column 2 only targets cells were used, resulting in an corrected averaged absorption of
0,535. In column 4, the highest absorbance could be seen. In this column a low effective
peptide was used resulting in a corrected averaged absorption of 0,578 of the wells.
However, in the in column 3 (which exists of high effective peptide) it is obtained that the
absorption is much lower compared to column 2 and 4. The corrected averaged
absorption of column 3 is 0,008.

In figure 1, can be seen that the first and last column have quite a high standard deviation.
In comparison with the high effective peptide, the standard deviation is very low compared
to the other two environments.
