Llama antibodies can soon be playing a role in the global fight against COVID-19 if clinical trials live up to their early promise. The trials are being conducted by a Belgian biomedical<\/strong> start-up.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology and Ghent University Center for Medical Biotechnology are saying that antibodies from a llama named Winter have blunted<\/strong> the coronavirus infections in lab testing. The technology wouldn\u00b4t be used to replace vaccines but rather to add to them, helping to protect people with weaker immune systems and those hospitalized by the virus.<\/p>\n

Teknologi ini tidak akan menggantikan vaksin namun lebih kepada pelengkap, membantu melindungi orang-orang dengan sistem imun yang lemah dan mereka yang sedang dirawat karena virus corona.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Llamas have a particular kind of antibody called heavy chain antibody, and they\u00b4re much simpler than the ones that humans have. Due to this, scientists can easily take a little snippet<\/strong> of the protein and glue it to other proteins. Early studies showed effectiveness against several variants of the disease, including the highly infectious delta variant.<\/p>\n

(Llama memliki antibodi khusus yang disebut antibodi rantai, dan jauh lebih sederhana daripada antibody manusia. Oleh karena ini, para ahli dapat mengambil potongan kecil dengan mudah dan melekatkannya ke protein lain. Penelitian awal menunjukkan bahwa metode ini efektif melawan beberapa varian penyakit, termasuk varian yang sangat menular, varian delta.)<\/span><\/p>\n
