a team of researchers from the Berlin clinic Charite shared survey data on the susceptibility to coronavirus. Experts have studied T-lymphocytes, which play an important role in the acquired immune response of the body. And they studied cells and have recovered patients with the new coronavirus, and people who are not yet infected. The results reported by broadcaster NDR.
“in 34% of patients infected with the coronavirus was reactive T cells, although they never had contact with a SARS-CoV-2. That is, their body recognizes the virus of a new type,” with reference to the virologist Christian Drosten TASS.
the result has allowed scientists to assume that the people who had already contracted any of the coronaviruses, may develop immunity to COVID-19, and in the case of infection the disease will leak mild or completely asymptomatic. Despite the result, the doctor Drosten cautioned against jumping to conclusions because this is only the first study in this direction.
Germany ranked fifth in the world in the number of cases of a new type of coronavirus. According to the Johns Hopkins University, the country recorded 154 thousand 545 cases COVID-19. Outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus, the disease was registered in the end of 2019 in Central China.
