🧬Proves that 2nd infection was not tied to 1st infection
🧬2nd infection caused by #reinfection, not prolonged viral shedding
Neutralizing Antibody:
🧬Tested NEGATIVE for IgG against SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein 10 days after symptom onset of 1st infection AND 1 day after hospitalization for 2nd infection
🧬Thus unknown if patient mounted neutralizing antibody response to 1st infection, didn’t last if yes
Immune Response Following 2nd Infection:
🧬Patient tested POSITIVE for IgG against SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein 5 days after hospitalization for 2nd infection
🧬Most patients do develop immune response to infection, unclear how #strong that immune response is and how long it #lasts
🧬Pull the #DNA double helix apart, leaving the two single DNA strands
🧬The population (or occurrence) of every DNA sequence in that single-strand is #equivalent to the population of its reverse-complement DNA sequence in that same single-strand
