“We know that antibodies can render the virus ineffective,” said virologist Hollyhan. So those who have been in contact with corona infection are trying to treat the body with antibodies by injection. Hopefully, this injection will quickly protect people who come in contact with the crown. Because even after vaccination, it takes time to be effective. He added that the strategy has also been used to protect pregnant women who have been exposed to rabies and smallpox.
The BBC reports that these antibodies were made in a laboratory (monoclonal antibody).
UCLH is also testing whether these antibody treatments can be used to protect people who have not been exposed to the coronavirus. The application of this treatment can be beneficial for those who are taking chemotherapy for those who have low immunity or low immunity.
Infectious disease specialist Nicky Longley said antibody therapy could have an effect on the immunity of cancer and HIV patients. The antibody is not a substitute for medical vaccines, says virologist Hollyhan. It doesn’t cost too much. One dose will cost several hundred pounds. Wakefield, Manchester, Southampton and Hull are also being tested for this antibody treatment.
Antibody treatment results are expected in the spring.
