To avoid infection with the Omicron coronavirus strain, the antibody titer in the human body must be above 1000 Bau / ml. This was stated in an interview with Ura.ru by a virologist, molecular biologist, leading researcher at Moscow State University. Lomonosov Maxim Skulachev.
According to him, lower values can only protect against a severe course, since the body will very quickly develop the required 1000 Bau / ml in response.
“But how many antibodies are needed to radically protect against infection is unknown, maybe 1000, and 2000, and 3000, that is, these are thousands of units,” the virologist noted.
Earlier it was reported that American scientists from the Yale School of Public Health and the Mirimus laboratory managed to find out that the peak viral load on the patient's body is in the first three days after infection with "omicron". It is during this period that a person is most contagious to others.
As part of the study, scientists took 37 infected subjects, all of whom had previously been vaccinated. PCR testing was carried out daily to find out for which day the virus was not detected in the body.
As a result, scientists were able to find out that the peak viral load on the body falls on the first three days of illness. After three days, the viral load in most patients began to fall.
