Nature: A Human Antibody Can Potently Neutralize Multiple Coronaviruses Including Sars-Cov and Sars-Cov-2
In a new study, researchers from the Swiss Humbs Biomed SA and the University of Washington found an antibody identified for the first time in blood samples from a patient with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS, commonly known as atypical pneumonia) in 2003 which can inhibit related coronaviruses, including the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This antibody, called S309, is currently in rapid development and…
PNAS: Reveal the Cause of Sars-Cov-2’s High Infectivity and Concealment!
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 is highly contagious. Strangely, in many patients, it can cause a poor immune response, thereby prolonging the disease. This contributes to the widespread of the virus and exacerbates the global pandemic. In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered a biochemical mechanism that may explain how the virus can effectively…
