Research progress on action mechanism and preparation of monoclonal antibodies against 2019-nCoV.

ABSTRACT

During the treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients it has been revealed that the neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against 2019-nCoV have the advantages of high specificity, high purity, and can be prepared in a large scale, which are expected to be a effective preparation for clinical use. This article introduces the way of 2019-nCoV invasion into the host cells, the major variants of novel coronavirus, and the mechanism of action of anti-2019-nCoV monoclonal antibodies, as well as the progress of research and development of their preparation in major pharmaceutical companies, to provide reference for scientific research and clinical application.Copyright © Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases.All rights reserved.
