American scientists were able to identify an antibody that completely blocks the coronavirus. As Fox News reports, this statement was made by the employees of a biopharmaceutical company from California Sorrento Therapeutics.
the Research team examined billions of antibodies, collected over the last decade, and, as it turned out, hundreds of them can influence the coronavirus. But one of the investigated antibodies STI-1499, according to scientists, protects against infection with SARS-CoV-2 with an absolute guarantee. It is able to protect against coronavirus and bring it from the human body for four days.
“We want to emphasize that there is a cure. There is a solution that works 100 percent. If your body has a neutralizing antibody, you don’t need social distancing. You can without fear open society,” said Dr. Henry JI, the founder and CEO of the company.
Also describes the action of antibodies. “It coats the virus and removes it from the body,” explained Henry JI. The researchers believe that treatment with antibodies may prove to be more effective than vaccination. However, while working with the antibody was carried out in laboratory conditions.
