The aim of this review is to explain what happens to the immune system after recovery from COVID-19 and/or vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease. We detail the way in which the immune system responds to a SARS-CoV-2 infection, including inn...

Dr. Glen Davison, a Nutrition and Exercise Immunology expert at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, has addressed some questions regarding how exercise and nutrition affect the immune system. He has related this to COVID-19 and provided some recommendations for exercising during lockdown. H...
You have two options to train your immune system: vaccine dojo and nature dojo. In vaccine dojo, you train with paper weapons and learn to defend yourself. Sure, you might get a black eye or a bruise. Sometimes after a vaccine, you get sick for a few days, but that’s generally it....
SYDNEY, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Scientists in Australia have made the world's first detailed report of how the body's immune system responds to COVID-19, describing it as similar to that of seasonal influenza. Scientists from the University of Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection ...
In the mouse model of COVID-19, researchers were able to rescue infected mice from pneumonia by blocking the NLPR3 inflammasome pathway. With the inflammasome pathway blocked, immune system cells were still infected. But they were no longer inflammatory and therefore could not contribute to damagin...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an acute respiratory infection, is largely associated with dysregulation and impairment of the immune system. This study investigated how the immune system changes were related to disease severity in COVID-19 patients. The frequencies of different immune cells and...
But the study also revealed that, paradoxically, key cells of the innate immune system in the blood of COVID-19 patients became increasingly paralyzed as the disease got worse. Instead of being aroused by the presence of viruses or bacteria, these normally vigilant cells remained functionally slug...
"When COVID-19 emerged, we already had ethics and protocols in place so we could rapidly start looking at the virus and immune system in great detail," said Royal Melbourne Hospital Infectious Diseases Physician Dr. Irani Thevarajan, who leads the SETREP-ID program at the Doherty Institute....
