An international team of scientists has discovered a new drug against COVID-19.
According to studies, antibodies from llamas can block the coronovirus.
“They are one of the first antibodies to neutralize SARS-CoV-2,” said Jason McLellan, associate professor of biological sciences at the University of Texas.
For the first time, the amazing immune abilities of llamas were discovered by specialists at the University of Brussels in 1989.

According to experts, the antibodies must be introduced into the body in advance.
The drug showed high effectiveness if administered a month before infection. However, it can also be used in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 to reduce the risks of complications.
Research with this drug began in 2016. It was initially tested against SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV. The experts’ conclusions need more scientific research./zdrave.to
