Moscow donors who have had coronavirus are constantly donating plasma with a high level of antibodies. Plasma transfusion helps critically ill patients fight off infection. Now doctors will study whether it is possible to use plasma with antibodies to COVID-19, which they received from donors who have been vaccinated. …
“Given the fact that the use of the Sputnik V vaccine produces a high titer of neutralizing antibodies in humans, there is a possibility that in the future those who have been vaccinated will become donors. To test this hypothesis, we are starting a large-scale study in our hospitals where assistance to patients with coronavirus infection, said Anastasia Rakova.
