    Antibodies are one of the most valuable tools of the immune system to fight foreign invaders. As expected from work with other coronaviruses, several studies have confirmed that, following infection with Sars-CoV-2, the immune system counteracts by producing antibodies against the spike protein, a molecule that the virus uses to dock itself to our cells

    Bioinformatic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 reveals several variations between the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 from Italy, India, Nepal and USA, and the SARS-CoV-2 originated from Wuhan. Researchers used a database of genomes, genes and proteins from SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, and compared them with the SARS-CoV, the virus that originated an outbreak of
