SP1-77 to the rescue?

Could put Pfizer and Moderna out of business - well until the patent it.

The antibody, called SP1-77, is the result of a collaborative effort from researchers at Boston Children's Hospital and Duke University. Results from mouse studies they conducted were recently published in the journal Science Immunology, and they look promising.

But what does it mean, exactly, to have an antibody that can neutralize all variants of COVID-19, and what kind of impact will this have on vaccines in the future? Here’s what you need to know.

What is SP1-77?

SP1-77 is an antibody developed by researchers that so far can neutralize all forms of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was created after researchers modified a mouse model that was originally made to search for broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV, which also mutates.

The mice used in the study have built-in human immune systems that mimic the way our immune systems develop better antibodies when we're exposed to a pathogen. The researchers inserted two human gene segments into the mice, which then created a range of antibodies that humans might make. The mice were then exposed to SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein (which is what the virus uses to latch onto your cells) and produced nine different families of antibodies that bound to the spike protein to try to neutralize it.

COVID-19Is COVID-19 winding down? Scientists say no. Here's why

Those antibodies were then tested and one — SP1-77 — was able to neutralize alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and all omicron strains (including the current circulating ones) of COVID-19.

Dr Bean (skip to two minutes) like this - says it can replace ALL other therapies, maybe even those he cannot name (IVM?)
