The World of Antibodies: shape up Diagnosis for COVID?

The last decade exposed humankind to various viral infections like SARS, MERS, Ebola, and now COVID-19. While some of them developed antibodies against the infections, there are still many people who have not been exposed to these infections and are potentially at high risk of getting infected. Not only that, the biggest concern lies if the immune response has already developed the memory cells to counter future interaction with these viruses. By virtue, the production of antibodies to infection is a standalone mechanism to fight the viral attack in a primitive response. Still, long-term protection can only be provided by a proper vaccine which can develop humoral immunity in the host body.

What started as a pandemic from a small market in Wuhan in China spread in no time to the entire world, barely leaving any pocket non-infected. Since the pandemic started, the race was to understand the pathogenicity of the proteins and submolecular entities of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has now been sequenced, and now the quest is to develop a targeted therapy and immunization mechanism to check the infection. The cases subsided with the strict lockdown imposed in 2020, and the country was recuperating back to normal when the second wave hit in late January 2021, and by mid-February 2021 it was evident that the second wave has started wreaking havoc as it has done in other countries like US, Brazil, and Italy.

Immune response to infections and aftermath: Role of CRP

Role of CRP

Inflammation can occur with any infection or wound in the body, and healing is important to understand the recovery stage. Hence, C-reactive protein (CRP) comes in handy as the efficient blood marker test. The CRP is released from the liver, and its concentration in the blood measures its level. Since the CRP level rises with inflammation, it is characterized as an acute phase reactant since it is most active among the acute phase proteins.
