The Asymptomatic — 1 Comment

  1. Here is Derek Lowe’s take on the asymptomatic paper (I have recommended Lowe before in this blog): Thoughts on Antibody Persistence and the Pandemic. Lowe delves way beyond my level of knowledge into the intricacies of immune response. It seems that those who clear the SARS-CoV-2 virus easily and without (much in the way of) symptoms my be relying on the T-cell immune mechanism — “killer” T cells that don’t leave any trace in terms of antibodies for longer-term “sterilizing” immunity.
