Even patients with suppressed immune systems can achieve a strong immune response to Sars-Cov-2. A test helps to adapt therapy following an infection.
A research team from the University Hospital at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) has developed a test that provides information on the immune response to the novel coronavirus in patients who need to take immunosuppressive drugs. This is necessary, for instance, following an organ transplantation. “We were able to show that these patients can achieve a good immune response to Sars-Cov-2 despite immunosuppression,” says Professor Nina Babel, Head of the Centre for Translational Medicine at Marien Hospital Herne. Immunosuppressive therapy can be adapted individually during a Covid-19 infection using the test. The researchers report in the American Journal of Transplantation on 10 August 2020.
