Antibodies are the key to fighting viruses, but sometimes they can “out of control” and attack healthy organs and tissues.

Since the emergence of the new coronavirus, scientists have been trying to understand what makes each person’s response to this disease so different.

Why are some people sicker than others? Why does it affect different organs of the body and may last for a long time and become a long-term new crown?
