In this article, Ian Chan, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of biotech company Abpro, discusses the development of neutralising antibodies for SARS-CoV-2. Abpro’s neutralising antibody candidate ABP 300 is currently in Phase II/III trials.
The DREP-S vaccine candidate was found to be the most potent of the two investigational vaccine prototypes, eliciting high titers of SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies after a single dose.
The novel haptenised SARS-CoV-2 s-Spike vaccine, BVX-0320, stimulated mice to create neutralising antibodies that were able to reduce SARS-CoV-2 plaques in a neutralisation test.
A new phenotype-based compound screening technology, called DeepCE, identified 10 compounds that could be repurposed for COVID-19.
The N439K mutation improves the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and the viral receptor ACE2 and eludes antibody-mediated immunity, say investigators.
Research suggests heparin could be repurposed for COVID-19 because it can bind to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and prevent the virus from infecting cells in vitro.
NeuroCOVID will be a resource of clinical information and biospecimens from people who experience neurological problems associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The lead candidate, ADG2, was able to neutralise SARS-CoV and various strains of SARS-CoV-2, including those that are resistant to currently available antibody treatments.
In murine models of COVID-19, researchers found that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can suppress the inflammatory response and production of antibodies.
Researchers suggest patients who develop mild COVID-19 may not be able to fight reinfection very effectively because their CD8+ T cells show signs of exhaustion.
Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 persists in the brain after it is cleared in the lungs and concluded the severest and longest lasting symptoms of COVID-19 may be caused by brain infection.
According to a Public Health England study, prior SARS-CoV-2 infection provides 83 percent protection against reinfection but may not stop individuals spreading COVID-19.
The natural language processing model trained using viral protein sequence data was able to predict promising targets for vaccines against HIV, influenza and coronaviruses.
By combining nanobodies targeting different regions of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, researchers were able to protect cells from infection.
A new protein-based nanoparticle vaccine protected mice against a variety of coronaviruses, researchers have shown.
