Immune cells are responding to Covid six months after infection, study finds

[perugu_vada]

Cellular, or "T-cell," immunity against Covid-19 is likely to be present within most adults six months after primary infection, a new study said.

Research by the U.K. Coronavirus Immunology Consortium (UK-CIC), Public Health England and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust has found "robust T-cell responses" to the coronavirus virus six months after infection.

This latest study looked at 100 individuals who had tested positive for the coronavirus in March and April of 2020 but had not been hospitalized with the virus. All 100 individuals had experienced either mild or moderate symptoms or were asymptomatic (56 versus 44 people), the study noted.

"T-cell responses were present in all individuals at six months after SARS-CoV-2 infection," it said, indicating "that a robust cellular memory against the virus persists for at least six months."

What they probably measured is T effector memory, T resident memory unte T effector memory will be generated. If T effector memory can be measured after 6 months, T resident memory will last longer.
