SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Cross-React with Other Coronavirus Strains, Raising Important Implications for COVID-19 Diagnosis

A new study demonstrates that antibodies generated by the novel coronavirus react to other strains of coronavirus and vice versa, although antibodies generated by the SARS outbreak of 2003 had only limited effectiveness in neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Read more

Viral Left-Overs Hidden in Gut Tissue of Recovered COVID-19 Patients Help Immune System Mount Lasting Defense

A new study suggests that those who recover from COVID-19 are protected against SARS-CoV-2 for at least six months and likely much longer due to continually improving antibodies produced by immune cells as a result of continued exposure to the remnants of the virus hidden in the gut tissue.
