How is blood plasma turned into an infection-fighting drug?
Patients who have recovered from the disease have permanent antibodies generated by the immune system floating in their blood plasma, the liquid component of blood. To turn that into a drug, the plasma is harvested, tested for safety, and purified to isolate those protective antibodies. When injected into a new patient, the “plasma-derived therapy” — also known as convalescent plasma — provides “passive immunity” until the patient’s immune system can generate its own antibodies.

We at Coronavirus Watch - J&K and SRO have started the "Plasma Help" campaign wherein we help patients locate plasma donors and facilitate plasma donors in making the plasma donation process smooth for them. We provide free transportation and meals to plasma donors. We receive scores of plasma related SOS on our social media handles and "Plasma Donors - Kashmir" WhatsApp group. If you wish to donate or are in search of Plasma for your ailing family member or friend, you can register your preference here. Our donor database gets constantly updated with new donors. Our help will reach you positively as soon as possible.
