📢 2) XBB.1.5 has a much higher hACE2 binding affinity. 1/ ]

What is going on with our immune cells after COVID-19 infection?
This thread will explore some of the impacts of COVID infection on our immune system even after people are recovered including:
- Missing naive T-cells
- Exhausted T-cells
- Loss of B-cell maturation
- Hyper-activated inflammatory response
- Immune system is impeded post-infection
- Immunological dysfunction persists 8+ months
- Depletion and dysfunction of dendritic cells
