“…SARS-CoV-2 antibodies have been derived from several sources, including B-cells of convalescent patients 7,12,13,17 and people with prior coronavirus infections, 14,15 animal immunization, 10,18 and synthetic libraries or de novo design. 8,9,11,16,19 Most of the antibodies reported to date potently target the receptor-binding domain (RBD) in the trimeric Spike protein on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, 7,13,[22][23][24] which is highly immunogenic and is the key protein that mediates cellular entry via interaction with the host angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) receptor. 25 However, given the widespread global impact of this pandemic and limitations in biologic manufacturing capacities, means to further increase the potency of these antibodies and thereby decrease the dose required will be critical in meeting the global demand for therapeutics.…”
