Question

how does plasma therapy work​

Answer 1

Answer:

Blood is taken from a previously infected but completely recovered patient, the plasma component of that blood is separated and that contains the antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus. This plasma is injected into an infected person’s body that will fight the virus and neutralise it from spreading.

Once the patient has recovered, he/she will be asked to donate their blood so that their antibodies will be used to treat other infected patients.

The blood sample will be checked for any existing harmful diseases such as Hepatitis B & C including HIV.

The recovered blood will be taken into study and a researcher will extract plasma from the blood that can be injected into an infected person.
