BEIJING - A team of Chinese scientists has isolated several antibodies that it says are"extremely effective" at blocking the ability of the new coronavirus to enter cells, which eventually could be helpful in treating or preventing COVID-19.
They then conducted another test to see if they could actually prevent the virus from entering cells, he told Reuters in an interview. If all goes well, interested developers could mass produce them for testing, first on animals and eventually on humans. The antibodies are not a vaccine but could potentially be given to at-risk people with the aim of preventing them from contracting COVID-19.
