Oral host responses to SARS-CoV-2 predict progression of COVID-19

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers at the University of North Carolina and the National Institutes of Health determined the associations between oral severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), oral antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms.

Bispecific antibody shows improved efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed fully human bispecific antibodies, as revealed in a recent study. These antibodies can bind to two distinct epitopes of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and have demonstrated the ability to neutralize various strains of the virus, including the Omicron variant.
