Are T cells more important than antibodies in COVID-19? – The Science Board
A new study stressed the importance of a multilayered, virus-specific immune response for controlling SARS-CoV-2 during acute COVID-19, with an emphasis on the critical nature of T cells over antibodies during the process. The work was published in Cell
Since SARS-CoV-2 appeared, researchers have been trying to understand why the immune system sometimes does more harm than good during infection. When SARS-CoV-2 infiltrates the body, the innate immune system elicits a broad and unspecific attack against the intruders.
