Well known to doctors u c davis Medical Center where its undergoing Clinical Trials, the analogy ive used is a Monoclonal Antibody is like a pac man that only can eat one thing doctor Timothy Albertson who is leading the trial says in this drug to synthetic antibodies appropriate to attack different parts of the virus much like a pac man that can only one specific fruit. One of the antibodies targets the spike protein prevented from entering a human cell, the combination of these 2 are thought to not only prevent replication but also to kill the virus potentially in albertsons trial. Theyre only using the drug on patients who are sick enough to be in the hospital but not get needing intensive care other hospitals are testing it as a preventative measure for people who have been exposed to the virus.
