Today in Science, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine describe a new method to extract tiny but extremely powerful SARS-CoV-2 antibody fragments from llamas, which could be fashioned into inhalable therapeutics with the potential to prevent and treat COVID-19.
These special llama antibodies, called nanobodies, are much smaller than human antibodies and many times more effective at neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Theyre also much more stable.
Nature is our best inventor,…
