Most of its authors are academic researchers or public health authorities; only two have affiliations with a company. > The researchers tracked whether injections of the vaccine induced the production of antibodies via a sensitive test. Antibodies against the coronavirus spike protein were apparent by 14 days after the vaccine's injection. By 28 days, all but three of the 108 participants had large increases in the level of antibodies to the spike protein. Quantifying the changes, the researchers found that a high dose of vaccine injection produced a response that was over double that of the low-dose group, with the medium dose falling in between. There was also a T cell response to the spike protein, which is important for a strong overall immune response. > The researchers also looked for antibodies that neutralized SARS-CoV-2, preventing it from infecting additional cells in culture. These were present in all the groups tested, with their frequency increasing with vaccine dose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBw67Fb31Cs Trigonometry fundamentals | Lockdown math ep. 2 Michigan's testing numbers are looking good.
