Scientists from Columbia University in new York found a way to effectively combat the coronavirus. They created a mixture of antibodies that neutralizes infection in the body.
In the process of studying the virus research group noticed that I had been ill with the heavy form COVID-19 most rapidly produced antibodies are able to suppress the virus. All because the immune system of these patients had a stronger reaction to infection, says one of the authors of the work of David Ho.
“Scientists have identified different types of such neutralizing antibodies, a mixture which protects the body from coronavirus, and it can also help to more effectively treat COVID-19” — writes RIA “Novosti”.
Researchers have conducted a test on hamsters, which confirmed the protective properties of the selected antibodies. In the future, scientists want to conduct research on other animals and on humans. The resulting cocktail, according to Ho, can be used by pharmacists for the treatment of patients, including early stages of the disease and its prevention.
