Genetics can influence how our immune system responds to SARS-CoV-2. What about the COVID vaccine?
Right now, white blood cells known as T-cells are cruising through your body looking for any signs of an infection.
Key points:
- Some people are more affected by COVID-19 than others, and this new study gives a clue as to why
- The research identifies key proteins that triggrer our immune system cells
- Experts say this finding suggests future vaccines may need to target more parts of the virus
New research has shown your genetics influence how well these immune system cells respond to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19).
But can your genetic make-up also influence how your T-cells react to the COVID-19 vaccine?
That’s the question Australian scientists like Corey Smith are keen to answer.
