"Hopes that the COVID-19 pandemic may end sooner than initially feared have
been fuelled by speculation about 'immunological dark matter', a type of
pre-existing immunity that can’t be detected with SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests.

"Antibodies are produced by the body’s B-cells in response to a specific
virus. Dark matter, however, involves a feature of the innate immune system
termed 'T-cell mediated immunity'."
