Dr. Jacob Glanville, a scientist in California, believes he has found a treatment or coronavirus using antibodies that neutralized SARS in 2002.
‘We are happy to announce we have completed the engineering and we have some very potent antibodies that can be effective against the virus,’ Dr. Glanville said.
But, because they’re cousins, Dr. Glanville says the antibodies that fight against one virus likely work against the other. Dr. Glanville calls the drug his ‘short-term’ vaccine but, unlike a true vaccine, the antibodies only protect someone for 8 weeks.
