VisitStudy Shows IgG Transfer from Long Covid Patients Induces Autoimmune Symptoms in Mice
Jun 1, 2024, 03:22 PM

These symptoms include pronounced and persistent sensory hypersensitivity and reduced locomotor activity without affecting motor coordination. The findings suggest a strong indication of autoimmunity in Long Covid. The study highlights the importance of the patient cohort, as the symptoms were replicated in mice using antibodies from patients in a Long Covid clinic. The symptoms in mice were related to the human plasma proteomic signature.
