I am in the COVID-19/transplant research study at the University where I had my transplant done. The head of the study shared with me the solid organ recipients who got Covid-19 and survived had “remarkably robust anti-body production and protection. I remember him telling me that because, after hearing it, I somewhat jokingly asked him if I could get COVID-19 in a protective environment so that they could make sure it doesn’t get too far. Of course, he told me That was the worst idea he had ever heard. So the answer is getting the actual virus produces a huge immune response even in transplant recipients.

Wow! I don’t think I’ve had Covid, but I did have infiltrates on a chest CT for chest pain. However, it would be interesting to know if I have antibodies because infiltrates have been associated with COVID-19. At that time I was tested for COVID-19 in multiple ways including blood test and all kinds of other viruses and they were all negative.
I would not want to ask for Covid, but it does show that we could produce good antibodies if we actually had the disease. Thank you for your help!
