Breakthrough antibody kills all known variants of SARS-CoV-2

28. The article said it stimulates the mouse's immune system to

Create the antibody.

"Initially, the scientists integrated two human gene segments into the mice. This action stimulated the rodents' immune cells to rapidly synthesize a broad array of antibodies, akin to the ones our bodies could potentially create.

Subsequently, the group exposed the mice to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the primary protein that our antibodies and existing vaccines aim at, derived from the initial Wuhan-Hu-1 coronavirus variant.

As a reaction, the mice generated nine distinct groups of antibodies that attached themselves to the spike protein."

One of those antibodies bines to a part of the virus not known to mutate. So, I suspect they will have to get our bodies to produce that antibody.

"Should these discoveries be successfully duplicated in humans, these antibodies might pave the way for improved COVID-19 vaccines and therapies."
