Using a highly accurate test they developed, University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers have shown that antibodies persist for months after infection.

Health Sciences researcher Dr. Jun Wang says the world can be better prepared for the next viral outbreak by supporting infectious disease research now.

As President Trump recovers from COVID-19 and travels around the country for campaign events he has said that he is now possibly immune. Dr. Shad Marvasti at the University of Arizona College of Medicine talks about what we know and what we have learned about the coronavirus and immunity.

People sickened with COVID-19 produce "high-quality" antibodies against the virus five to seven months after they become infected, according to an analysis published Tuesday by the journal Immunity. The findings suggest that those infected with the new coronavirus potentially can develop long-lasting immunity to it, researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences said.

Immunity against COVID-19 may persist for at least five months after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, according to a study led by an Indian-origin researcher in the US. The researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences studied the production of antibodies from a sample of nearly 6,000 people infected with the novel coronavirus.

A study from the University of Arizona Health Sciences study shows COVID-19 antibodies provide lasting immunity.

COVID-19 patients may produce antibodies for at least five months after initial infection, according to a study published in the journal Immunity. Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences in Tucson analyzed antibody production from 5,882 blood samples collected in Arizona's Pima County as part of a larger effort to create and validate a COVID-19 antibody test.

Researchers developed one of the most accurate COVID-19 antibody tests available and now have shown antibodies persist for months after infection, providing long-term immunity.

A study by researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences published in the journal Pain showed that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is the virus causing COV-19, has the ability to relieve pain. This finding may explain why almost half of the people who get infected with COVID-19 experience only a few symptoms or no symptoms at all. However, the lack of symptoms does not make them less contagious because they can still spread the virus.
