The whole world is fighting a battle against the deadly and infectious corona virus (SARS-CoV-2). Till date there is no vaccine against corona virus. The best way to prevent infection is to strengthen your immunity. The immune system plays a vital role in protecting us from viruses and diseases. Primary immunity is given by white blood cells. Significantly there are other types of WBC’s viz, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocytes, and monocytes.
Immunity
A system that protects the body against disease or other potentially damaging foreign bodies such as bacteria, virus, parasite, fungi, or allergens; while distinguishing them from the body’s own healthy cells. Antibodies are produced by our white blood cells and are a major part of the body’s response to combat any infection.
Types of immunity
Innate immunity
Adaptive immunity
Passive immunity
Tests done in laboratory
Rapid test - Ig M and Ig G Antibody test
RT- PCR test - Real time Polymerase Chain reaction
