Thus, this is the first report to state that innate immunity plays an essential role in SARS-CoV-2 clearance, which The disease severity and fatality were increased with age in COVID-19 patients, which may be explained by the augmentation of proinflammatory responses and the reduction of antiviral cytokines in elder individuals. Taken together, we showed that SARS-CoV-2 could coexist with virus-specific IgG antibodies in COVID-19 patients for an unexpectedly long time and, without adaptive immunity, innate immunity may still be powerful enough to eliminate SARS-CoV-2. The long-term coexistence of IgG with SARS-CoV-2 in the human body raises the question of whether patients with antibodies are still at risk for reinfection, which may make COVID-19 "immunity passports" Long-term coexistence of SARS-CoV-2 with antibody response in COVID-19 patients ./cache/cord-306486-y6a4u0vh.txt ./txt/cord-306486-y6a4u0vh.txt
