Covid Passport: Vaccination vs Immunization

¿Cómo se defiende nuestro cuerpo del ataque del coronavirus? Hasta ahora, los test serológicos que existen en el mercado miden sólo los anticuerpos de unión. Estos ayudan a combatir la infección, pero sólo entre un 1% y un 5% de ellos son neutralizantes, es decir, los que bloquean la entrada del virus en la célula. 


Los anticuerpos neutralizantes tienen como función impedir la entrada del virus contrarrestándolo y erradicándolo: Por ello, sólo cuando examinamos la presencia de este tipo concreto de anticuerpos en una persona estamos midiendo precisamente su inmunidad protectora frente a la infección.


El Prof. Wang ha desarrollado un test, denominado cPass (Covid Passport) capaz de medir los anticuerpos que inequívocamente tienen función neutralizante y confieren protección frente a la infección.


Además de aplicarse para la determinación de la inmunidad de rebaño y selección de donantes de plasma para la terapia de COVID-19, el test cPass abre las puertas a la implantación del pasaporte inmunológico vs pasaporte de vacunación.

In this webinar, we will cover

The limitation of normal serological tests in the market

The implementation of the immunological passport

Professor LINFA WANG is one of the world's leading experts in zoonotic diseases, bat immunology and pathogen discovery, and a member of various WHO committees. His recent research contributions include developing antibody based serological tests to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak, and the early and successful culture of the virus from an infected patents sample. His team is currently focusing on research into the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and developing assays which can better assess vaccine efficacy in the context of a potential immunity passport strategy and the challenges faced by the emergence of different virus variants.
