18 host proteins play an important role during SARS-CoV-2 infection — two of them are particularly interesting. They could open up new ways to treat…
COVID-19 antibodies preferentially target a different part of the virus in mild cases of COVID-19 than they do in severe cases, and wane significantly within…
Even though common mask materials block most of the droplets that spread the virus, that may not be enough at close distances. Simply wearing a…
Mini Antibodies Produced by a Llama and Isolated by Neuroscientists Could Prevent COVID-19 Infection
Mini Antibodies Produced by a Llama and Isolated by Neuroscientists Could Prevent COVID-19 Infection
NIH scientists showed that nanobodies isolated from a llama may prevent COVID-19 infections. Infections happen when SARS-CoV-2 virus spike proteins (yellow) latch onto ACE2 receptors…
