Research Roundup: Different Antibody Responses to COVID-19 and More

The Pharma Data

Antibodies Respond Differently to Severe Versus Mild COVID-19. Researchers at Stanford Medicine found that COVID-19 antibodies preferentially target different parts of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in mild COVID-19 cases than they do in severe cases. In milder cases, the antibodies seem to do a better job of binding to the spike protein.
