Until the Ebola virus vaccine was created, many of its patients were treated with plasma therapy. If research is successful, it may be that the treatment is the same until the corona vaccine comes.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the Approved Ebola vaccine was prepared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2019. Earlier patients were given passive immunity through plasma therapy to protect them from the virus. Now corona is coming out as epidemic once again giving researchers a new challenge in this direction. If the research results are in favor, then it may be that it is also treated by plasma therapy until the corona vaccine is introduced.

Health Experts are working fast in the direction of patients who have been cured after fighting this disease, with the help of antibodies made in their body, to treat new patients suffering from this disease.

If we are successful in this work, then this step can prove to be the first line of defense in this direction. This can be very effective especially in saving the lives of those who are over 60 years of age or are suffering from chronic diseases other than corona.

Antibodies begin to develop in a person’s body when the virus attacks their body. These antibodies attack the virus and act to deactivate it.

Doctors have found that even when the patient is cured by fighting the corona virus, these antibodies continue to flow in the body for a long time.For this reason, the body of such a patient is always ready to recognize the virus and fight it.

Therefore, scientists can also work in this direction to remove antibodies from the body of the serving patient and inject them into infected people. With this, the immune system of the patient will start making more antibodies like these with the help of these antibodies. This type of therapy is called Plasma Derived Therapy in the medical world.
