ANTIBODIES

Researchers discovered 42 human antibodies that can attach to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. These antibodies are effective at neutralizing the virus and preventing it from interacting with human cells. Many of these antibodies work well against different strains of the virus, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron variants. Some antibodies were created by mixing parts from different antibodies, which also showed strong neutralizing effects. Overall, these findings could help in developing treatments and vaccines for COVID-19.

CORONAVIRUS VACCINE

A new type of vaccine uses RNA to help prevent or treat infections caused by the coronavirus. It works by introducing RNA that contains instructions for making a part of the virus called the spike protein. This spike protein helps the immune system recognize and fight the virus. When a person receives this RNA, their body can produce specific antibodies and T cells that target the virus. Overall, this approach aims to boost the body's defenses against COVID-19.
