Can you please provide an example of an antibody that occurs by means that aren’t natural?New study identifies antibody that protects you from COVID, variants and more (msn.com)
Researchers from Duke Human Vaccine Institute and the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently discovered the antibody after analyzing blood from a patient infected with the original SARS-CoV-1 virus, which caused the SARS outbreak almost two decades ago, and a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19).
Of those, there were 50 “that had the ability to bind to both the SARS-CoV-1 virus as well as SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19,” according to WRAL Tech Wire.
Indeed, they found the antibody could be given as a therapeutic measure to fight off viruses.
In August, a separate team of researchers reportedly found an antibody that could neutralize all known novel coronavirus strains, as I wrote for the Deseret News.
Hello; Reads like a big win for natural immunity. Antibodies from two decades ago and perhaps currently. Also may be a good therapeutic.
- Both GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology conducted a large study that found a new natural antibody “that has remarkable breadth and efficacy,” per Berkeley Lab.
- The antibody had such strong power that it “neutralizes all known SARS-CoV-2 strains — including newly emerged mutants that can now ‘escape’ from previous antibody therapies — as well as the closely related original SARS-CoV virus,” according to a press release from the Berkeley Lab.
I would like to hear more about these super-naturally occurring antibodies.
