[Literature Library] Epitope-Specific Response of Human Milk sIgA in COVID-19 Recovered Women

This study analyzed the human milk samples from maternity patients who recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection and found that N-protein secretory immunoglobulin A 1 (sIgA1) and sIgA2 responses were found induced in 100% and 33% of cases respectively. Overall, the authors concluded that such antibody immunological landscape may confer infants with a passive immunity against COVID-19.
