The researchers found that B cells targeted against SARS-CoV-2 persisted in the germinal centres - like boot camps where B cells are trained to make ever-better-quality antibodies - of all participants for months. Even six months after vaccination, 10 out of 15 people still had B cells in their germinal centres.

As per the study, of the 112 subjects, 11 did not develop antibodies even a month after receiving the first jab. On the other hand, the antibody level in 7 persons had considerably reduced after 6 months of receiving the 2nd dose of Covishield vaccine, found the study.

Almost 20-25 percent of fully inoculated population would not develop antibodies for Covid-19. This information was shared by Director of Institute of Life Sciences (ILS), Ajay Parida on Saturday (Sept 11).

London: Researchers are in the process of discovering the factors responsible for the production of antibodies that do not just fight one virus strain, but neutralises almost all known virus strains. This kind of neutralising antibodies are produced by a small number of people who are infected with HIV-1. Previously, the team led by the […]

New York: Researchers are a step closer to developing a broadly effective antibody treatment against the three major Ebola viruses that cause the lethal disease in humans. The study found that the isolation of two potent monoclonal antibodies from human survivors of Ebola virus disease that — in cell culture studies — efficiently neutralised the […]
