Extreme levels of ‘friendly fire’ from the body’s immune system may cause ‘long Covid’

Extreme levels of ‘friendly fire’ antibodies in the immune system could trigger severe coronavirus symptoms and cause ‘long Covid’, scientists say. Coronavirus patients have high numbers of ‘autoantibodies’ in their blood which block the body’s Covid-tackling antibodies and attack several areas, including the brain, blood vessels and liver. This could account for why some Covid sufferers … Read more

Oxford coronavirus vaccine is safe and triggers ‘robust’ immune response, phase 2 study finds

Oxford University’s coronavirus vaccine triggers a ‘robust’ response from the immune system and appears to work in older people, a study revealed today. Scientists behind the project this morning published the results of an early trial of the jab, which found it created strong signs of immunity in 99 per cent of people. The second-phase … Read more

COVID-19 ‘nanoparticle’ vaccine could trigger strong immune response

Scientists develop a ‘nanoparticle’ COVID-19 vaccine that could trigger a 10-times stronger immune response than the reaction seen in survivors and protect against future mutated strains Scientists have developed an experimental vaccine that uses nanoparticles, which mimic the structural features of the coronavirus The body is trained to recognize the receptors the virus uses to enter … Read more

Coronavirus UK: Oxford vaccine works perfectly by safely triggering an immune response

As scientists race to develop a coronavirus vaccine to bring the world back to normal, MailOnline has taken a look at the prospective candidates. Vaccine trials were halted on Wednesday but it may still be ready this year The Oxford Vaccine When will it be ready?: The end of 2020/ early 2021. Despite the trials … Read more
