Research on corona virus has proved that antibodies play an important role in fighting infection. But how can that antibody be effective in preventing corona? Scientists in the Netherlands have discovered an antibody that prevents infection with the corona virus. This antibody, called 47D11, is being claimed to block the spike proteins of the corona virus. It is known that the corona spreads infection in the body by binding cells with this spike protein.And then increases its number. This discovery has been made by researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

Scientists in the Netherlands have discovered this 47D11 antibody while performing experiments on mice. During research, he found that this antibody present in the cells of mice catches and blocks the protein of the corona and ends its effect. This antibody binds the ACE2 enzyme that helps the corona virus reach the human body. Researchers claim that this antibody will be particularly helpful in treating corona patients.

What is an antibody?
Antibodies are immune cells made up of proteins. It is alerted as soon as something external reaches the body. When a bacterial or viral infection occurs, it neutralizes the bacteria or toxins of the virus. In this way it acts as an immune system in our body and eliminates the effects of infection.

Research on mice
Researchers in the Netherlands injected spike proteins of different corona viruses into mice cells in the laboratory. These viruses included viruses such as SARS, Mars, SARS-CoV2. The researchers isolated 51 antibodies to corona infection-fighting mice, of which only 47D11 antibodies succeeded in preventing infection with the corona virus.
Antibodies will prove effective
Researchers claim that if this antibody is delivered to the human body, it will change the way the virus infects and prevents the virus from spreading from an infected person to another healthy person. Researcher Professor Bernand-Jane Bosch claims that this antibody is effective in preventing infection of both coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2). With its use, the growing corona infection will also be prevented to a great extent.
