In a recent development, scientists have identified antibodies that can block and stop the Omicron variant and other deadly covid variants. Scientists recently have come up with a piece of positive news where they have clearly identified antibodies that attack and inhibit the corona omicron variant.
As per the recent study, it is said that these newly found antibodies act on mutated parts and sections of the body that are not been mutated by the deadly virus strain. Details of this new promising study were published in the journal Nature.
Researchers and scientists are optimistic about this new finding and are hoping that these details will help in the development and treatment of vaccines that will prevent the future evolution and spread of new deadly variants.
Professor David Wetzler while explaining this new study said that these newly found antibodies target and attack areas of high protection in the spike protein.
Finally making the antibodies immune to any number of virus mutations since these virus mutations do not affect or hamper the working of the antibodies.

The researchers for this study purpose analyzed the antibodies used in the currently available antibody therapy. Out of these analyzed antibodies, the antibody Sotrovimab was found to efficiently protect against the omicron variant, thereby reducing the effectiveness and impact of the omicron variant by up to 3 times.
Similarly, the current research also concluded that the antibodies that belonged to the previous four classes of antibodies that were produced against the past corona variants are capable and effective in inhibiting the omicron variant.
These newly discovered antibodies are currently known to affect the spike proteins of all types of genres, not just the coronavirus but also the other strains.
Weizler also explained that the affected area is a protected area in the spike protein, which doesn’t change with any type of mutations.
Finally, these antibodies completely block the virus and its mutant variants no matter the number of mutations and changes.
