The Journal of Translational Medicine writes that scientists from the Heart Institute in Los Angeles have come to the conclusion about the dangers of antibodies after COVID-19.
Antibodies produced by those who have had the disease are capable of mistakenly attacking healthy cells. This effect manifests itself after several months and is manifested by chronic inflammation and problems with the nervous system, skin and joints.
Correctly working antibodies destroy antigens – foreign proteins, thereby protecting the body from infection. Scientists talk about an autoimmune reaction – when antibodies recognize healthy cells as an antigen and attack them.
