Antibody and Immunity Research Study

We hope that this study may help us learn how prior immune responses affect a person’s risk of having an infection caused by a respiratory virus such as SARS-CoV-2. During an infection or following vaccination, the body's immune system produces different types of white blood cells that defend against foreign intruders like viruses and bacteria. Such responses are complex and can differ between individuals. After infection with (or vaccination against) a particular virus, these immune responses typically provide the person with protection against symptomatic infection with that virus. As time passes after the vaccination or viral exposure, this protection can decrease, allowing breakthrough infections. This study measures participants’ existing immune responses to common respiratory viruses. We then detect any respiratory viruses that cause symptomatic infections and investigate how the type and strength of prior immune responses protect a person against infection.
