Scientists identify antibodies capable of neutralizing Omicron
Washington, Dec 30 (Prensa Latina) A global team of scientists have discovered antibodies that can kill the variant responsible for driving a global surge - the Omicron.
In addition, scientists claim that these antibodies can also neutralize other variants of Covid-19. By identifying the targets of these “broadly neutralizing” antibodies on the spike protein, it might be possible to design vaccines and antibody treatments that will be effective against not only the omicron variant but other variants that may emerge in the future, said David Veesler, investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and associate professor of biochemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle.
