How COVID-19 outsmarts our immune system
Tonight we're with our team from The Francis Crick Institute.
A whole plethora of cells exist within our bodies, helping to protect us from foreign invaders, including the virus responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the virus has some tricks up its sleeve to outmanoeuvre our immune system. Join our scientists who will explain the peculiarities of our immune system and how COVID-19 manages to stay one step ahead.
