Mild COVID-19 elicits persistent immune memory
A colorized scanning electron micrograph of coronavirus leaving a cell from a culture produced at NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Labs.
A longitudinal of mild adult cases of COVID-19 showed that a multi-layered immune memory response, specific to the pandemic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, could be detected in the study blood for at least three months after illness was over.
In the project’s laboratory experiments, several of these immune-memory defenses displayed powerful attributes associated with antiviral immunity. While the lab findings are promising, the scientists do not yet know if they translate to ease in fending off a re-infection.
