Deskripsi

Understanding if lasting immune responses can be induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection is important for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, the authors show, in a cohort of 25 patients, that IgG and T cell responses, as well as neutralising antibody, are still detectable against various SARS-CoV-2 proteins 3 months post-symptom onset, while IgM levels largely wane at this time.
