They also brewed  antibodies that bind to the Fc sites on killer lymphocytes and trigger them to flush away virus-infected cells that would release ever more virus.   This new information will guide vaccine developers to produce agents that evoke even more powerful protective antibodies.   https://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674(20)31459-8.pdf?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0092867420314598%3Fshowall%3Dtrue   #covid #antibodies #spikeprotein #killercells
