Adaptive Immune response to SARS-CoV2 infection and Vaccination by Dr. Amit Awasthi

by

    Adaptive Immune response to SARS-CoV2 infection and Vaccination was discussed by Dr. Amit Awasthi. In 10.2% of life-threatening or comorbidity individuals, the neutralizing autoantibodies are present that impair type 1 INF immunity causing severe covid infection whereas, in asymptomatic individuals, the antiviral immune response is intact and less infection. Virus neutralization is reduced … Read more

T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 in infection and vaccination by Dr. Nimesh Gupta

by

    Dr. Nimesh Gupta discussed the T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 in infection and vaccination. Asymptomatic and mild patients show a similar magnitude of Spike-IgG after almost 10 months post-infection.  Persistence of T-cells at least up to 10 months post-infection is seen majorly in the symptomatic cases. vaccines improve the antibody and T cell … Read more

Immune Response to COVID19 infection by Dr. Florian Krammer

by

Dr. Florian Krammer discussed the Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. Humans induce robust and long-lasting antibody responses to SARS- CoV-2, even after mild infection. For individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, one shot of the mRNA vaccine may be enough. The neutralizing antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 is complex and not just focused on the … Read more
