It mainly promotes the immune system, which is vital as a barrier against COVID-19. Humoral immunity (antibody-mediated immunity), among the various functions of the immune system against the coronavirus, plays an outstanding role in preventing infection. This review presents a brief overview of the immune system regarding its protection of the human body from COVID-19; illustrates the process of the immune system, how it works, and its mechanism to fight virus. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases, and grey literature was searched through Google Scholar included all scientific literature published from 2020 until 2023.
