Experts have found powerful antibodies that neutralize all Covid variants [View all]

In a remarkable breakthrough, researchers have identified a set of potent antibodies capable of neutralizing virtually all known variants of COVID-19. Additionally, these antibodies can tackle other potentially deadly animal coronaviruses that may cause future pandemics.

This discovery could steer the course of development for therapeutics that can effectively combat both current and future coronaviruses.

The study, led by the Duke-NUS Medical School, also involved an international team of experts from the National University of Singapore, the University of Melbourne in Australia, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in the United States.
For the investigation, the researchers isolated antibodies from the blood of a patient who had previously recovered from SARS and was later vaccinated against COVID-19.

This unique combination spawned a highly potent and expansive antibody response, which demonstrated the capability to neutralize almost all tested coronaviruses.
