A research team led by Huang Jinghe of Fudan University says it has developed a new type of antibody that could neutralise Omicron.
New antibody may neutralise variant and future strains
Surprise discovery – made while Fudan University researchers were investigating another disease – would put humans ‘a step ahead’ in race against the pandemic
New antibody was synthesised from components of two different antibodies produced by human immune cells, according to paper
Huang’s team and collaborators at the National Clinical Research Centre for Respiratory Disease in Guangzhou developed eight different highly-potent antibodies in a short period of time using this new approach.
Huang said their method could turn these natural antibodies into a powerful arsenal to aid the battle against the pandemic. The new antibodies could be produced by a standard method.
“Mass production will not be a problem,” she said.
