The Telangana Pradesh Congress leader Gudur Narayana Reddy who recouped from the coronavirus has formed a Plasma Donors Association for spreading awareness among those who have effectively recovered from the disease and encourage them to save other patients lives by donating plasma.
Our blood produces antibodies, and some cells like the antigen make antibodies when they interact with a similar disease again.
