SARS neutralizing antibody suggests COVID-19 therapy

Our bodies create antibodies to recognize, neutralize and clear specific pathogens. That’s why scientists are looking at neutralizing anbodies as models for therapies against the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. David Veesler, assistant professor of biochemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and his team have found a promising antibody. They identified it in a patient who recovered from Severe Acure Respiratory Syndrome during the 2003 outbreak, which was caused by a different SARS coronav
