Apart from antibodies, Armenian researchers to look into COVID-19 impact on nervous system

Over 130 Armenians, who recovered from the novel coronavirus, have already volunteered, since August 7 to participate in the COVID-19 antibody studies conducted by the Yerevan State Medical University, ARMENPRESS reports, citing Konstantin Yenkoyan, the vice rector for scientific affairs.

The first results are due by late August, Yenkoyan said.

The study will cover a period between 6 and 12 months.

“When the virus enters into a person’s body, it causes an immune response. The antibodies begin developing within several days. At the final phase of the disease, the immunity IgG develops. Our objective is to find out how long it stays in the system,” Yenkoyan added.
