A potent synthetic nanobody targets RBD and protects mice from SARS-CoV-2 infection
2020-06-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 1 , recognizes host cells by attaching its receptor-binding domain (RBD) to the host receptor ACE2 2–7 . Neutralizing antibodies that block RBD-ACE2 interaction have been a major focus for therapeutic development 8–18 . Llama-derived single-domain antibodies (nanobodies, ∼15 kDa) offer advantages including ease of production and possibility for dire...
