A new American study revealed the effectiveness of taking the influenza vaccine on the rates of infection with the emerging coronavirus.
According to the Medical Express website, the study conducted by the University of Chicago showed that people who received the annual flu vaccine had a greater quality of immune response than others and had an immune capacity that reduced their rates of infection with the virus.
The researchers confirmed that most of the primary antibodies that were stimulated after influenza infection and its vaccines came from ancient B cells, a type of white blood cell that secretes antibodies, indicating that the memory of the immune system plays a major role in how the body responds early in the viral infection.
The study relied on that the memory of the immune system has a rapid and specific response to pathogens that have been encountered previously, as vaccines work by exposing the immune system to a small amount of viruses, which causes the development of B cells to develop a biological memory of the virus if the body encounters the same virus later, as the immune system is alerted to attack The virus and its elimination.
