This is news that could reassure citizens around the world. In the review Cell reports medicine, many scientists have been clear: our antibodies can kill the virus.

In the study published by the magazine on April 21, researchers from thePastor Institute, of national scientific research center andNational Institute of Health and Medical Research have shown that antibodies are a weapon against virus. According to scientists, the virus can therefore be killed by our antibodies, regardless of the severity of the disease. This is good news, of course, but we must not forget that our body must be able to produce these antibodies.

We would no longer be talking about a vaccine, but about a treatment. “We are now starting to use monoclonal antibodies which are chosen for their ability to neutralize the virus, by preventing it from entering cells.
