COVID-19 Antibody Discovery - Neutralizes All Known SARS-CoV-2 Strains
An antibody therapy that appears to neutralize all known SARS-CoV-2
strains, and other coronaviruses, was developed with a little help
from structural biologist Jay Nix.
Experiments showed that this antibody, called S309, neutralizes all
known SARS-CoV-2 strains +IBM- including newly emerged mutants that can
now 'escape' from previous antibody therapies - as well as the closely
related original SARS-CoV virus.
Subsequent tests in hamsters suggest that this antibody could even
prevent a COVID-19 infection if given prophylactically. The new work
was published in Nature.
