Because, when you look at a mutation, it can give you a hint or a prediction that it might evade the immune response. What you need to do is you need to get that particular sequence of the virus, put it in a form in the lab where you can actually test the different antibodies. So, you can have a prediction that it might evade or you can actually prove it. Right now, we're getting the material together with our South African colleagues to get a situation where you could actually directly test it," he explained.
"So right now you're talking about sort of like a red flag that this might be an issue but we don't know," the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director said, addressing "New Day" co-host Brianna Keilar. "Once you test it, you'll know for sure whether or not it does or does not evade the antibodies that we make, for example against the virus through a vaccine or following convalescing after you get infected. When you get antibodies, do those antibodies protect you against this new virus? The answer is we don't know right now but we're going to find out for sure."
