PGH: Survivors’ Antibodies Might Cure Severe COVID-19 Patients

The University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital will attempt to treat severely ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients by using the antibodies found in the blood of survivors.In an interview with GMA News, UP-PGH Spokesperson Jonas del Rosario is appealing for blood donations from COVID-19 survivors. He explained that survivors are those who initially tested positive for the disease, got better, then eventually tested negative.

The Center for Disease Control has defined antibodies as protein found in the blood that is produced in response to bacteria or viruses invading the body. Antibodies serve as a protection from the disease by binding these organisms and destroying them.

praying for a good outcome! 😉

Ninaespina_ hmm

I thinkd chances of cure is high. It was said that there is no cure, only your body's ability to produce antibodies will neutralize the virus. Now they will harvest the antibodies of survivors and give to those who can't produce their own. Let us pray it would work.

It would be well to research on antibodies produced by + lactating (BREASTFEEDING) mothers for their offsprings

sana po ok. ❤️

Cure or Supportive treatment/therapy? Clarification lang po please. Wala ako nabasa na cure po sa statement ng doctor sa article.

Good, we're getting some lead!

Parang the The Flu movie lang ito ah.

Used before in China and got perfect results
