Assessment of avidity related to IgG subclasses in SARS-CoV-2 Brazilian infected patients
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 is considered a global emergency, resulting in an exacerbated crisis in the health public in the world. Although there are advances in vaccine development, it is still limited for many countries. On the other hand, an immunological response that mediates protective immunity or in...
