Anticorpii de coronavirus pot rezista în corp cel puţin trei luni după ce o persoană contractează virusul SARS-CoV-2, potrivit unui nou studiu publicat în Science Immunology. Saliva ar putea fi o alternativă la testarea pentru anticorpi„Studiul nostru arată că anticorpii IgG împotriva proteinei S a virusului sunt relativ durabili în sânge şi salivă. Mulţi oameni care se recuperează în urma infecţiei cu COVID-19 dezvoltă agenţi imuni în sânge numiţi anticorpi care sunt specifici noului coronavirus. Aceşti anticorpi sunt folositori pentru că indică cine a fost infectat, indiferent dacă persoana în cauză a prezentat sau nu simptome. Un studiu anterior publicat în Nature Medicine a sugerat că anticorpii pot dispărea după două luni pentru unii oameni care au avut virusul dar nu au prezentat simptome.
