Powerful new antibody that neutralizes all known SARS CoV 2 variants

#sarscov2 #vaccinedevelopment #antibodytherapy #neutralizingantibodies #covid19 A new, broadly neutralizing antibody developed at Boston Children’s Hospital could potentially improve our ability to defend against future variants.In tests, it neutralized all currently known SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, including all Omicron variants. The researchers first inserted two human gene segments into the mice, pushing their B cells to rapidly produce a diverse repertoire of humanized antibodies. They then exposed the mice to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the main protein targeted by our antibodies and current vaccines, from the original Wuhan-Hu-1 strain of the virus. In response, the modified mice produced nine lineages or “families” of humanized antibodies that bound to the spike.
