New method identifies antibody-like proteins with diagnostic and therapeutic potential for SARS-CoV-2

Scienmag

Antibody-like proteins that capture and neutralize SARS-CoV-2 Scientists have used a new high-speed, in vitro selection method to isolate 9 antibody-like proteins (ALPs) that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 virus – 4 of which also exhibited neutralizing activity – within 4 days, according to a new study.

Gilead says Veklury should work against COVID-19 variants

pharmaphorum

According to the US biopharma company, genetic analyses of publicly available sequences for the new variants of SARS-CoV-2 suggest the mutations in the viral spike protein that have made them more transmissible shouldn’t affect the way Veklury (remdesivir) works. The UK strain – known as B.1.1.7
