Newly Discovered Antibodies Hold Key to Fighting Multiple Strains of Covid-19

Medical researchers from Singapore, Australia and the United States have detected six new antibodies in the blood of recovered patients vaccinated against the emerging “Corona” virus (Covid 19), and these newly discovered antibodies may be the key to fighting each strain of the emerging virus.

Six antibodies

The collaborating researchers identified six antibodies that effectively killed several variants of Covid-19, and the original Covid and SARS-CoV-2, as well as the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omicron variants, were all weak against these antibodies, which are antibodies. An antibody produced by a clone of a unique white blood cell that fights disease.

newly discovered strains

The E7 antigen has been found to neutralize newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as Omicron’s XBB.1.16, which has caused a more than 14 percent increase in new US cases over the past month.

But cases are still historically low compared to previous years since the novel coronavirus first gripped the world in 2020.

early signs

The researchers, led by Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, found that E7 blocks the shape-shifting process required by the (Covid-19) virus to infect cells and cause disease.

In turn, the director of Covid-19 at the CDC, Dr. Brendan R. Jackson, said, “For most people, these early signs do not need much.”

He added that deaths related to “Corona” have continued to decline steadily in recent months to their lowest levels since the CDC began tracking cases.

Summer wave of 2023

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) experts pointed out that the late summer wave of 2023 is still much lower than the previous (Covid 19) outbreaks during the past three summer waves.

Ending the coronavirus emergency

Recently, the World Health Organization announced that the experts of the organization are holding a meeting; To discuss ending the state of emergency for the emerging “Corona” virus during the current year 2023 AD, where a committee of global health experts will meet to decide whether the “Corona” virus is still an emergency under the rules of the World Health Organization, a situation that helps maintain international focus on epidemic.

The World Health Organization had given the virus itself the highest alert level for the first time on January 30, 2020, and the committee has continued to apply the label since then at meetings held every 3 months.

WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he hoped the international emergency would end this year.

For her part, Professor Marion Koopmans, a Dutch virologist participating in the WHO committee, said it is possible that the state of emergency will end, but it is important to announce that the virus remains a complex public health challenge.
