Belgian scientists took antibodies<\/strong> from a llama, and the antibodies can help fight against COVID-19.<\/p>\n

(Para ahli Belgia mengambil antibodi seekor llama, antibodi ini dapat membantu melawan COVID-19.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Llamas have an antibody which is called a heavy chain antibody, and it is much simpler than human antibodies. Therefore, it is possible to take a small part of it and put it together with other proteins like building blocks. Studies showed that this method<\/strong> worked for several variants<\/strong> of the virus, including the dangerous delta variant, too.<\/p>\n

(Llama memiliki antibodi yang disebut antibodi rantai, dan jauh lebih sederhana dibandingkan antibodi manusia. Itulah sebabnya, memungkinkan untuk mengambilnya sedikit dan menggabungkannya dengan protein lain seperti membangun balok. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode ini ampuh untuk beberapa jenis varian virus, termasuk varian berbahaya delta.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists are doing more tests to see how good the method really is. It will not replace vaccines, but it could help people with weak immune systems<\/strong> or people who end up in hospital.<\/p>\n

(Para ahli sedang menguji lebih banyak percobaan untuk melihat sebaik apa metode ini. Ini tidak akan menggantikan vaksin, namun dapat membantu orang-orang yang memiliki sistem imun yang lemah atau mereka yang sedang dirawat di rumah sakit.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Kata-kata sulit<\/span>: antibody<\/strong><\/a> (antibodi<\/span>), method<\/strong><\/a> (metode<\/span>), variant <\/strong><\/a>(varian<\/span>), immune system<\/strong><\/a> (sistem imun<\/span>).<\/p>\n
