The key to immunity against coronavirus lies in the common cold

that cause common colds are less likely to be infected with

and aimed at

by researchers at Imperial College London (UK)

While previous studies have shown that T cells induced by other coronaviruses can recognize

, this research examines for the first time how the presence of these T cells at the time of exposure to

influences someone get infected

The researchers also claim that their findings provide

a blueprint for a universal vaccine

of second generation that could prevent infection by current and future variants of

, including

.

"Exposure to the

virus does not always lead to infection, and we wanted to understand why. We found that high levels of pre-existing T cells, created by the body when infected with other human coronaviruses such as the common cold,

can protect against infection with the

virus .

Although this is an important discovery, it is only one form of protection, and I would like to stress that the best way to protect yourself against

is to be fully vaccinated

including your booster dose," said Dr Rhia Kundu, first study author, from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London.
