Potent Neutralizing Antibodies from COVID-19 Patients Define Multiple Targets of Vulnerability

Category: Article Summary

Topic: Testing and Treatment

• Antibodies isolated from three convalescent COVID-19 patients were found to have strong neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2. Further analysis revealed several sites on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that could be targeted for vaccine development.
