Globally, the search for prevention and treatment of the corona epidemic is going on very fast. In the same sequence, a research article published in 'SAIL' journal last week has raised hope. It states that antibodies to the blood of an animal 'llama' found in South America can protect people from the coronavirus. According to this, the lama's antibodies are so small that it can penetrate into the vacant spaces of viral proteins. These antibodies, smaller than human antibodies, can thus help protect against danger.

For your information, let us tell you that international researchers have done this study on Belgium's four-year-old lama 'Winter'. Its antibodies have been considered effective in fighting diseases like SARS and Mars. For this reason, researchers are speculating that these antibodies may also work against Kovid-19. At least they are effective in cell culture. Researchers are now working on a clinical trial in this regard. Dr. Xavier Sellens, a gynecologist at the University of Ghent and author of the study, says that "if it works, the lama is worth building a winter statue."

In addition to this, researchers say that two copies of specific types of antibodies in the llama form a new antibody, which can bind strongly to the major protein of SARS corona virus-2. It has been found that antibodies to the 'Winter Lama' bind to proteins of the corona virus and inactivate it. Meaning that these antibodies, also known as 'nanobodies', can also be helpful in the fight against Kovid-19, which has caused havoc around the world.
