​IIBR, using its Biology division's well-established platform for antibody engineering, have managed to isolate a monoclonal antibody against the virus, from blood samples that were obtain from severe COVID19 patients. It was also demonstrated that this antibody was able to effectively neutralize the virus. Parallel efforts are being made worldwide. Some have managed to isolate antibodies that neutralize other closely related viruses and even anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies, but IIBR is the first to demonstrate that the antibody that was isolated from COVID19 patient can indeed neutralize this pathogen. IIBR will continue to characterize this antibody and others and a biological manufacture ​would be sought to mass produce it for clinical use.
