#IDMastodon #Viralimmunity #Immunology At least 20% of people who become infected with the #SARSCoV2 infection never feel sick. Now scientists have identified a genetic mutation that is linked to a higher likelihood of avoiding symptoms during infection.

Apparently #Omicron sub variants is not mild and the only way to protect your loveones from #COVID19 severity is vaccination . 2 doses of mRNA-1273 vaccine effectiveness is initially strong against symptomatic #SARSCoV2 infection & hospitalization in children aged 6 mth -5 yr.

In this finding Antibodies to the spike protein develop after vaccination or infection and can take a relatively long time to decrease, but antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein develop only after natural infection and wane at a faster rate, which is particularly detectable with testing by using an IgG assay format vs a total antibody assay format

#IDMastodon #Viralimmunity #Viralimmunology @Nature Intranasal infection with rhinovirus & #COVID19 induced inflammasome-mediated immune responses in the epithelium of lower airways in #asthma Timely inhibition of the epithelial RIG-I inflammasome may lead to more efficient viral clearance and lower the burden of rhinovirus & #SarsCoV2 infections.
