Preventing new coronal viruses, your saliva may help a lot

This discovery also seems to explain to a certain extent why the elderly are more likely to infect new coronary viruses than infants and young children, and develop into severe illnesses.

"Salgers help congenital immunity and prevent new coronal viruses from invading the human body." This discovery from a research team from Public University in Osaka, Japan.

The new coronal virus combines the spiny protein on the surface with the receptor protein on the surface of the human cell, which leads to the infection of the new coronal virus in the human body.

The Japanese researchers found that the higher the saliva concentration, the higher the saliva concentration, the more difficult the virus and the cell surface of the cell surface were.

After analyzing the four kinds of salivary protein that can be combined with the receptor, the researchers believed that the role of a square protein H2A with positive charges in saliva and the elasticity of neutral granulocytes to prevent the combination of the two are particularly obvious.

The latest research report was published on the 6th in The Journal of Biochemistry.

And this discovery seems to to a certain extent why the elderly are more likely to infect new coronary viruses than infants and young children, and develop into severe illnesses. The research team of the Osaka Public University in Japan explained that the saliva secretion of infants and young children is large, and as humans grow older, the secretion of saliva will gradually decrease. Therefore reduce.

Matsumoto Matsumoto Matsumoto, an associate professor of cell molecular biology in Osaka Public University in Japan, said that he hoped that this discovery could help researchers develop drugs based on human congenital immunity and prevent new coronal virus infection.
