Long Covid autoantibody study finds no single immune signature

Original: Some autoantibodies against neuronal targets found in people with # LongCovid but no specific signature....it's heteroge

Researchers have found autoantibodies targeting neuronal cells in some people with Long Covid, but no consistent pattern across patients. Commenters note the condition appears immunologically heterogeneous, with an autoimmune component resembling ME/CFS rather than classic autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. The findings reinforce the view that Long Covid is not one uniform condition and may require individualized diagnostic and treatment approaches.

Why now: New research on the immunology of Long Covid is being discussed as patients and scientists seek biological explanations for the condition.

• Some autoantibodies against neuronal targets found in people with # LongCovid but no specific signature....it's heterogeneous. Not surprised at all by this finding. ME/CFS and long covid have an autoimmune component but they are not classic autoimmune diseases like MS or… · brianvastag@mas.to · 4
