Quality of antibodies improves for months after COVID-19 vaccination: Study

Deccan Chronicle  

Washington: Antibodies produced by immune cells become steadily more formidable and precisely targeted against the SARS-CoV-2 virus for at least six months after COVID-19 vaccination, according to a study. "If the virus did not change, most people who got two doses of this vaccine would be in very good shape," said senior study author Ali Ellebedy, an associate professor at Washington University. We never thought that six months following that second injection, many people would still be actively improving the quality of their antibodies,” Ellebedy said. Even six months after vaccination, 10 out of 15 people still had B cells in their germinal centers - boot camps where B cells are trained to make ever-better-quality antibodies.
