Overly robust immune response can lead to critical cases of COVID-19 – Innovation Origins
A new study has shown that the body’s very strong immune response to the SARS CoV-2 virus can cause a severe case of COVID-19.

The antibodies bind to specific viral receptors and thereby prevent viruses from penetrating cells. At the same time, infected cells are tagged so that other protagonists in the immune system can then destroy the cell.
