"These neutralizing antibodies effectively keep the virus from entering human cells and could essentially knock out the infection," Dr. Neeta Ogden explained.
Researchers in California have identified what they are calling a super-strength antibody that blocks the coronavirus' most infectious elements. The discovery comes amid an international race to find a vaccine, which internal medicine specialist Dr. Neeta Ogden warns"may not be perfect" in terms of immunity from the disease.
"These neutralizing antibodies effectively keep the virus from entering human cells and could essentially knock out the infection," Ogden explained. While researchers have figured out the antibodies occur 11 to 21 days post-infection, it is still"not clear" how long they remain active, Ogden said.
