Chinese scientists have managed to create antibodies that may be effective against future strains of coronavirus infection. This is reported by the South China Morning Post.
At Fudan University in Shanghai, researchers have created antibodies from components of other antibodies that are produced by the human immune system.
The discovery can be called accidental, as scientists were working to find ways to treat another infectious disease.
Later, tests were carried out, as a result of which it turned out that the antibodies created were able to effectively fight the Omicron strain of coronavirus.
According to the researchers, these same antibodies will also be effective against future coronavirus mutations that will arise in the future. Huang Jinghe, a leading researcher at the university, said this to the publication.
Earlier, the head of the preventive center of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, Vadim Pokrovsky, told in which case the subspecies of the omicron BA.2 coronavirus variant has a chance of widespread distribution in Russia.
The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova in Russia, said that a subspecies of the “omicron” strain VA.2 was identified in Moscow, the Republic of Mari El, the Rostov Region, and the Republic of Bashkortostan.
