plasma therapy
Transfused antibody healing
Plasma therapy is a medical treatment using blood plasma—the liquid portion of blood containing proteins and antibodies.
In convalescent plasma therapy, plasma from recovered patients is transfused to those currently ill, transferring antibodies that may help fight infection: Plasma therapy was tried early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses a patient's own concentrated plasma to promote healing in injured tissues.
