Using human monoclonal antibodies to prevent and treat viral diseases
Davide Corti, PhD
Vir Biotechnology, Switzerland
The development of effective countermeasures is paramount to curb the pandemic spread caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein promotes entry into host cells and is the main target of neutralizing antibodies. In this talk Dr. Corti will present data on the key structural and functional features of multiple classes of SARS-CoV2 neutralizing antibodies isolated from COVID-19 immune donors.
