, researchers have created an antibody "that neutralizes SARS-CoV-2" in cells, offering the potential for prevention and treatment.
"Our data show that 47D11 neutralizes SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 through a yet unknown mechanism that is different from receptor-binding interference," the researchers wrote in the study. "Alternative mechanisms of coronavirus neutralization by RBD-targeting antibodies have been reported including spike inactivation through antibody-induced destabilization of its prefusion structure17, which may also apply for 47D11.
It's early in the development process of any potential drug, but it's promising nonetheless, the researchers noted.

34-Year-Old Man May As Well Keep Pursuing Dream At This PointOMAHA, NE—Admitting he wasn’t really qualified to do much of anything else after all this time, local 34-year-old Ryan Wells told reporters Wednesday that, at this point, he might as well just keep following his dream of someday becoming a successful musician. “It’s definitely too late for me to go back to school, and I’m not going to get an office job or anything like that with the résumé I’ve got, so I figure, why not just stick with what I’ve been doing,” said Wells, adding that he’s okay with his current schedule of rehearsals and occasional late-night gigs and has grown accustomed to living in small apartments anyway, so he didn’t see much of a problem with continuing to strive after his lifelong goal for the indefinite future. “It’s not like anyone really expects anything different from me anymore, either; they all pretty much ask about how the band stuff is going right off the bat when I talk to them. So, I guess I’ll just keep doing this from here on out.” Wells went on to say that he foresees no real issues with his plan to keep following his dreams, provided that his roommate of eight years doesn’t suddenly decide to move out.
