One in three Indians still vulnerable to COVID-19, says ICMR; findings of fourth serosurvey explained
The Indian Council for Medical Research surveyed 8,691 children aged 6 to 17 years for the first time and found half of them to be seropositive
Nanoparticle vaccine produces Covid-19 immunity in mice after a single dose, study reports
The vaccine may be stored at room temperature, and researchers are assessing whether it can be shipped and stored as a freeze-dried powder.
People who develop Coronavirus antibodies much less likely to test positive again for up to six months or more: Study
It was found that antibodies themselves may not be giving the protection, they might just be a sign that other parts of the immune system, such as T cells, are able to fight off any new exposures to the virus.
COVID-19 antibodies were found in 75 percent of serosurvey participants from five slums in Mumbai's Cuffe Parade
The report suggests that most seropositive participants were either asymptomatic carriers or unwilling to share information about an earlier COVID-19 infection.
Childrens' immune systems make fewer antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus, COVID-19 study finds
The findings could have implications in testing, undermining results from tests that look for antibodies to certain proteins of the virus.
Some COVID-19 survivors have antibodies that attack the body, not the virus
Experts have said these findings are not unexpected, since other viral illnesses also trigger 'autoantibodies'.

Study reveals new test, IP-FCM, could be used to detect COVID-19 antibodies, their effectivity against the novel coronavirus
For this study, the scientists collected blood samples of 24 patients who tested positive for COVID-19 infection, presented with mild to moderate disease and were not hospitalised. Out of these 24, 12 patients experienced fever while 16 experienced cough
Antibodies indicates previous exposure, may not guarantee protection against COVID-19, say scientists
Though a number of studies have been conducted, information as to the type and level of antibodies is limited, scientists said
COVID-19 antibodies found in 57% of Mumbai slum residents in limited serosurvey by NITI Aayog, BMC, TIFR
Researchers have inferred from their findings that a high proportion of all infections are likely to be asymptomatic.
COVID-19 immunity: Common element found in all SARS-CoV-2 human antibodies that neutralises the virus
Studying the 3D structures of two antibodies, researchers identified features that made them effective and promising for vaccine design.
Over 14% Kolkata residents have COVID-19 antibodies, finds ICMR survey; city far from developing herd immunity, say doctors
According to senior doctors, the survey indicated that the transmission is high in Kolkata, which is far from developing herd immunity or antibodies to combat COVID-19.
