Scientists Discover Antibodies That May Neutralize a Range of Coronavirus Variants

This research may help with developing COVID-19 treatments

Researchers have recently discovered antibodies that can neutralize a range of SARS-CoV-2 variants and other coronaviruses.

They hope that their work, which appears in the journal Nature, may help with developing treatments for the current COVID-19 crisis, as well as potential future pandemics.

Antibodies are the human body's defense mechanism against unfamiliar substances such as bacteria and viruses in the blood. Once generated, antibodies bind to the foreign substances, which are called antigens. The binding process triggers the body's immune response and mobilizes other cells to fight the invading antigen.
