Llama-derived antibodies target coronaviruses’ conserved spike region, offering broad protection

Scientists have discovered a unique class of small antibodies that are strongly protective against a wide range of SARS coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1 and numerous early and recent SARS-CoV-2 variants. The unique antibodies target an essential highly conserved site at the base of the virus’s spike protein, effectively clamping it shut and preventing the virus from infecting cells.
