Mumbai, Maharashtra;

Experts closely monitoring the corona say that antibodies do not persist in the body of patients who have recovered from the corona for a very long time. The report, based on a survey conducted by JJ Group of Hospitals staff in Mumbai, suggests that these antibodies have not survived in the body for more than a few months. This fact may prove to be decisive in deciding the course of treatment of corona, especially, in preparing its vaccine and planning strategy for the public. Let's know what the whole issue is-

What are Antibodies and Why are they Important

Antibodies are important parts of our body's immune system. These are elements of proteins called immunoglobulins. At the same time, the elements that cause harm in the body are called antigens. These can be viruses, bacteria, or harmful chemicals.

Antibodies act as search battalions or search soldiers in our bodies. The special thing is that every different type of antigen has different antibodies. They come out of our cells to find enemies or antigens, find them and stick to them and destroy them. Once the body is right after fighting a disease, antibodies are formed in the body against the disease which protects the body from similar infections in the future.

What Happened in the Study?

Dr. Nishant Kumar, head of the study, says, 'Seven weeks ago, 28 out of 801 healthcare workers at JJ, GT, and St George hospitals were found to be corona positive in the RT-PCR test. But during the serosurvey in June, antibodies were not found in any of these bodies.

JJ Hospital conducted a survey of 34 more people. They were found to be corona positive in PCR tests three and five weeks ago. It was observed that 90% and 38.5% of these people had antibodies respectively. Meaning antibodies perished over time.

'Antibodies to corona soon fade away'

After further analysis of this report, it was concluded that antibodies against corona is rapidly destroyed. Some surveys around the world also show that three weeks after the infection, most of the antibodies are present in the body, but they soon disappear.

The Effect of Corona Vaccine will last Only 50 Days!

It is also being concluded from this research that if the survey is correct, then after giving the vaccine its effect will be only 50 days. That is, antibodies will die out 50 days after vaccination and there will be an increased risk of coronation again.

These Affect the Strategy of Making and Applying Vaccine

Dr. Nishant Kumar says, "These results suggest that we need to rework the vaccine the strategy right now." The research team says that it is very possible that the public will have to be prepared to have multiple doses instead of single doses of vaccine.

But Some Experts Don't Agree

Some health experts do not agree with this theory. Giridhar R Babu, an epidemiologist at the Public Health Foundation of India, says that we do not know whether the 28 patients who had corona had symptoms or not. Research in the West suggests that antibodies were seen for three to four months in patients who were cured of the severe corona.

Another senior doctor in Mumbai says that more research is needed on our body's immune system against corona infection. It has been learned that T cells play an effective role against the corona in place of antibodies called immunoglobulin G (IgG), so there is no need to panic. Some others say that without conducting a continuous survey, it would be wrong to say that they are ending soon.
