Genetic mutations can reduce cellular immunity against coronavirus

An investigation into the

indicates that there is a different response to infection in minority subpopulations with certain genetic mutations and more limited immune capacity, which could be more at risk of a first

infection if they do not have the protection of the vaccine.

The study published by

is led by the National Center for Microbiology (CNM) of the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII).

The research exposes the "possible" risk of immune escape in minority populations whose genetic characteristics may reduce their ability to fight primary

infection .

The work studies the cellular response mediated by CD8+ lymphocytes, immune cells that play a central role in a first natural infection (the first time the contagion is suffered), and not the protection induced by vaccines, which, as two recent studies concluded of CNM are effective against Ómicron and other variants of
