The Omicron variant of coronavirus has created panic among all around the world. However, now, a relief news has emerged among all of them. In fact, scientists have recently identified an antibody that neutralizes those areas of the Omicron variant and other variants of coronavirus. Which is usually unchanged. During this time, the virus is being muted. Research published in the journal Nature can help design vaccine and antibody treatments. The vaccine and antibodies are said to be effective not only against omicrons but also other variants that will emerge in the future.
Let me tell you all that recently, David Vesler, associate professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine in the US, said, "This discovery tells us that targeting these highly protected sites on spike proteins with antibodies can remove repeated variants of the virus. He further said, 'The omicron variant has an abnormal lying 37 mutations in spike protein, which is the highest. The virus uses it to enter and infect human cells. It is believed that these changes explain why the variant is capable of spreading so fast. '
He also said, "The main questions we were trying to answer. This area of mutation in the spike protein of the omicron variant has affected the ability of cells to bind and avoid the antibody reactions of the immune system. According to him, researchers used a pseudovirus to assess the effect of these mutations so that it could produce spike proteins. It contained spike proteins with omicron mutations and spike proteins with early variants identified in the epidemic. He then carried out the rest of the research. It is said that if this antibody vaccine is prepared, it will be a big success as it will go a long way in eliminating the epidemic.
