Researchers have discovered T cells capable of responding to COVID-19 in people who have never encountered the virus.

The surprising discovery posed many questions for scientists. Why do some people already have protection against coronavirusand others get it so hard? The answer probably lies in cross-reactivity.

T cells in carriers of immunity have developed in response to another virus, scientists have to understand which pathogen led to this.

Most likely, people are faced with another type of coronavirus, there are actually many of them, most often coronaviruses cause colds. And such people have an advantage over the virus. The immune system recognizes the virus because it has already encountered a similar one.
It is too early to draw definite conclusions, but scientists suggest that meeting with another type of virus may affect the severity of the course of COVID-19. They plan to study this phenomenon further!
