Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 infection elicits both neutralizing and non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), primarily targeting to the N-terminal domain (NTD), receptor-binding domain (RBD), and S2 subunit of the spike protein. Notably, a unique subset of NTD-targeting mAbs isolated from prototype Wuhan-Hu-1 strain infected donors displayed a capacity of facilitating the viral infection independent of the fragment...
