Chennai: A study has found that the majority of the people can produce neutralising antibodies against the novel coronavirus in severe cases of Covid-19. The researchers noted that neutralising antibodies that specifically target the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein—which the virus uses to enter human cells—are thought to be essential for controlling it. According to the team including researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel RBD-specific neutralising antibodies have been detected in convalescent patients—those who have recovered from Covid-19. Published in the journal PLOS Pathogens the study used molecular and bioinformatics techniques to compare B-cell responses in eight patients with severe COVID-19 and 10 individuals with mild symptoms 1.5 months after infection. Some of the recoverees tend to have robust and long-lasting immunity while others display a waning of their neutralising antibodies they said.
