A “shocking” study reveals the long duration of immunity acquired by Corona

A recent scientific study conducted by the La Jolla Immunology Institute in California determined the duration of immunity enjoyed by those recovering from the emerging corona virus.

According to the study, coronavirus immunity lasts eight months and can reach years, unlike previous studies, which indicated that antibodies wear off within three months of recovery.

And according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, the levels of immune cells for Covid-19 begin to decline slowly in the months following the infection, but sufficient quantities remain in the body to prevent recurrence of the infection for periods of time they can reach years.

In the study, the results of which were published by the scientific site “MedAvive”, the scientists followed a sample of 185 people who were infected with Covid-19 and monitored their levels of immune cells for a period of months after their infection. with Corona, in order to understand “immune memory”.

The bodies of 92 percent of the study participants developed antibodies called “immunoglobulin G”, which regressed slightly after eight months, while all those who recovered from Corona developed “B” memory cells, capable of producing new sets. of antibodies if met again the body of the virus.

This study contradicts the results of previous research that had indicated the possibility of suffering from a mild infection of Corona disease again, due to their body’s failure to acquire strong immunity.
