Article Synopsis
- The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted the need for deeper research into immune responses for better treatments and vaccines.
- A study screened over 60,000 asymptomatic people in the Southeastern U.S., finding about 3% had positive IgG antibodies against the viral Spike protein, with higher levels linked to better inhibition of ACE2 binding.
- Compared to asymptomatic individuals, SARS-CoV-2 symptomatic patients showed lower antibody responses and less effective inhibition of ACE2, suggesting that healthy individuals can generate strong immune responses without showing symptoms.
