I& #39;m rapidly losing my temper with the media. Primary response antibodies are a pisspoor mesure of immunity and the presense of antigen specific T cells are quite literally the entire basis of the adaptive immune response. https://twitter.com/PerthshireMags/status/1285159413511262208">https://twitter.com/Perthshir...
It& #39;s not unsual to "lose" antibodies months after infections, or have the number of antibodies in the blood drop.
Because the concentration of antibodies produced by secondary responses are 100x-1000x fold higher in a fraction of the time (<24 hours).

The ENTIRE basis of immunity is the creation of long lived memory T and B cells that live in lymph nodes and the spleen, or reside in muscoal membranes so you have a fast, swift, overwhelming, antibody and cell mediated response to a second infection.
Like doing piss poor science articles where you present the senario that memory T and B cells protect like its a BRAND NEW INCREDIBLE FUCKING THING WE ARE SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME isn& #39;t helping anyone.
