A group of Dutch and German scientists from the University of Utrecht synthesized an experimental monoclonal antibody that can defeat the coronavirus under laboratory conditions, writes the journal “Nature Communications”.

According to scientists, the antibody, called 47D11, is directed at the “spines” of the virus protein and does not allow the virus to enter the cell.

It stands out that it is new antibody It not only won the SARS-KoV-2 virus, but also its “cousin” SARS-KoV. Furthermore, in principle, it is similar to proteins produced by human immune cells.

Genetically modified mice were used in the experiment. After the positive results, the scientists decided to re-synthesize the antibody to create one. a human-friendly version.

The use of this antibody in medicine is not possible at this time, numerous tests must first be performed.

More than 3.6 million people have been infected with the corona virus worldwide, and the number of deaths has exceeded 250,000. Around 1,200,000 people recovered from kovida 19.
