08.47. Colds from other coronaviruses may create some protection

Sonia Zúñiga, a coronavirus researcher at the National Center for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC), has pointed out that common colds produced by other coronaviruses , which have already passed the majority of the population, could hypothetically generate some type of protection against SARS- CoV-2 , the virus that generates Covid-19 disease . This is evidenced by, for example, a preliminary study by the Institute of Immunology of La Jolla in California (United States), which has detected significant cross-reactivity in individuals not exposed to the new coronavirus.

These American scientists examined the response of T cells in blood samples that had been collected between 2015 and 2018, before SARS-CoV-2 existed. Many of these individuals had significant T-cell reactivity to SARS-CoV-2, although they had never been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 . But it is almost certain that everyone had suffered from at least three of the four common cold coronaviruses , which could explain the observed cross-reactivity.
