Ring could test for the presence of antibodies directed against any of 2,688 human proteins. In some of his own covid patients he found antibodies targeting 30 other important signaling agents besides interferon, some of which play an essential role in directing where other immune cells needed to attack. Antibodies which: can somehow be created by covid itself , have the potential to last a lifetime.
..critical covid patients could be saved with widely available existing drugs—types of synthetic interferon that could evade the autoantibodies and kick the immune system into gear early enough to avoid a cytokine storm.
