Washington, Nov 19 (Prensa Latina) A new study reveals that the number of immune cells that provide defense against Covid-19 could decline at a slow rate.
These cells may persist for a very long time in the body of people who have recovered from the infection, according to a research published on Biorxiv.
Scientists showed that eight months after infection, most people who have recovered had enough immune cells to fend off the new coronavirus.
Survivors of another coronavirus still carry certain immune cells 17 years after recovering, the research suggests.
That amount of memory could prevent the vast majority of people from being hospitalized many years after contagion, the new study notes.
Researchers from the University of Washington suggested that this kind of cell can persist for at least three months in the body.
Another study also found that people who have recovered from Covid-19 have immune cells even when antibodies are not detectable.
