Humoral Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 in Iceland | NEJM



Antibodies persist for months
A sweeping survey in Iceland shows that antibodies against the new coronavirus endure in the body for four months after infection. This counters earlier evidence suggesting that these important immune molecules disappear quickly. The antibody levels of more than 1,200 people who had recovered from COVID-19 rose during the two months after diagnosis, plateaued and then remained at the same level for the duration of the study.
