I was wondering if the N-antibodies were or were related to the so called memory T and B cells? And if there are any studies to link those 2, if it's not related, are there any studies on how these N-antibodies prevent future infections? Thanks! Found your article on DDG while searching for evidence that it's more dangerous to vax after infection, no luck so far!

Thank you! N-antibodies are what you develop from the actual viral infection. S antibodies are what you develop from the vaccine. B & T memory cells are what create N-antibodies so that our immune system remember the viral infection and when exposed again, deploy those memory cells to fight the virus with (hopefully) not getting sick again. As far as dangerous to vax after infection, I don’t have any great data on it, but you already have N-antibodies from having the virus, so you have better immunity than the vaccine can provide at that point, from the most current variant if you were recently sick. Also, there have been cases of a vaccine post infection causing more significant side effects but those are mostly anecdotal. I hope that helps!! :)
