Bengaluru, Mar 27: Oncologist Dr. Vishal Rao, HCG Hospital Bengaluru on Friday said that human body cells release interferon chemical to kill viruses but it cannot be released by cells in the case of COVID-19 cases, leading to weak immune system. However, a therapy of specific concoction could be useful in treating COVID-19 patients.
"We got hold of some preprint suggesting that interferon is effective in COVID19," said Rao.
Speaking to news agency, he continued saying "When we withdraw blood for regular check-ups, we get buffy coat which can be used to take out cells and form interferon. These two chemicals and some other cytokines, in a specific concoction, could be potentially very useful in treating COVID-19 patients."
Rao said that they have built a concoction of cytokines which can be injected to reactivate immune system in COVID-19 patients.
"We are in a very initial stage and hope to be ready with its first set by this weekend. We have applied to the governement for an expedited review. We have also presented this before the state government" said Rao.
"We have a team of infection specialist, ICU team and other...all of us have worked together to build something that we believe. We want to serve the society at this hour of need," he added.
Dr Rao clarified that this is not a vaccine and this particular interferon therapy does not help to prevent the infection of COVID-19. However, this is focused and targeted towards COVID-19 positive patients or those who have just incubated the virus.
"We believe that in early stages as well as the patients who have just incubated, this particular therapy of interferon gama and other concoction of cytokines could be an effective method. In the late stages we are looking at specific dosage of the cells which are our own body cells which can actually be affective and could also be of use for the ventilator patients," he added.
Meanwhile, Dr Gururaj, Immunologist and Scientist told ANI that they are trying to cover two aspects, one is the early stage patients where they are trying to improve their immune systems.
"As Dr Vishal said, we are trying to see whether we can use the cytokines from our own immune cells which is a natural process but it is hampered in infected patients," said Dr Gururaj.
"In the last phase we are using cells which are used from the bone marrow of the patient or donors. We can use those cells to reduce the inflation and so called cytokines release syndrome which is basically the inflammatory response of the body," he added.
However, the case is not completely solved as the 21-year-old girl, who was found with her boyfriend house at Naimarmoola near Kasargod on Friday, told the police that she would not return to her parents' house.

You have mistaken Sanathan Dharma. We are the true followers of Sanathan Dharma which prohibits Idol Worship.
We recite Gayathri mantra 17 times in our prayer. Rigveda 3-62-10
It is the first chapter of the Quran.
It has to be logically from One Supreme Creator who has no Image. Creator who is unlike His creations. Understand the Truth. Study your scriptures learn sanskrit come back to the Truth.
Because Truth is going to succeed and falsehood is bound to perish
She has come back to the Sanatan Dharma
Happy married life for couple. Burnol+ itch guard to naren Singapore.
Best decision from her side, congrats
Naren bhai ... u have mistaken !!!! The picture what cd published here is her old picture when she was a piece , in sha allah we can see a peacefull picture of her in the future with the hijab
MADHUVE JAYANTI FOR BOTH...AND BURNOOL JAYANTI FOR CHADDIS.
If Muslim girl elopes with Hindu boy, police intervene to unite them. Here, the case is vice versa and the same police are separating the couple. What a tragedy.
her t shirts speaks alot she left peaceful religion( sanatan dharma) and joined piece piece religion :) hahaha ... not a loss,its two way process ... but NIA must track these guys becoz converts are used in ISIS .We know 21 neo converts joined ISIS from kasragod . there is chance of waging jihad against own country
This love, staying with a girl before marrieage, and dont know the islam , Quran and hadith. Simply enjoying in duniya is not the behaviour of true muslim. They are spoiling their life here and here after even took birth in muslim family and have a name of muslim. and also they are spoiling the name of our muslim community. Our prophet Muhammad(PBUH) Said, a Muslim sweeping lady is better than other non muslim girls to marry.
made for each other.
let them lead their life. good or bad finally they are the one who suffer.
giving birth , giving education , love and everything by the parents and finally the girl is saying that i don't want parents and the boy who poses like Salman Khan is her choice.
she will repent one day.
at the moment let them both enjoy....
Wher is my comment?why you do not posted my comments?is there any mistake is there? please CD dont show double standeard becouse im one of the reguler reader..
This is the result of advanced tech. Parents has to check their all mobile no.s which has fake names i.e real boys name as girl's name (dummy) and incoming calls blocked by lovers. Only user will unlock during parents absence.
parents are not much educated enough to the effect of Facebook and whatsapp. If you want to provide phone to your children give them simple phone where they can not download illicit apps
May Allah (SWT) guide the couple with hidaayah!!! We should not blame them. Islam is not dependable. Enough preacher for Islam.
Congratulations Girl for the best decision.
Police dept to call both both parents with them and discuss face face and try to solve with in their limit and both elders satiso actiso action.
Interference of any dirty criminal groups, anti Indian groups or any communal mind political leader or their organized goonda group department must take strict action and send them behind bar at least for one year period for igniting communal tension.
Trust this will spoil all trouble makers intention and their political benefit gains.
irrespective of religion all middle class citizens are suffering with present red currency exchange procedures. In between communal mind politicians creating problem and planning communal tension is not faith.
God will never accept thought.
Jai Hind!
Well she should not be blamed it is bcoz of unproper teaching if she know teachings it would not had happened
Congratulations to the couple, leave in peace, take care of each other.
we respect all the religions, but above all it's love. loving each other is more important than anything else. They have won the love, may god bless you, LOVE IS GOD.
Cute Couples, happy married life to both.
