Second-generation double antibody protects from SARS-CoV-2 and its tested variants
The Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB; Bellinzona, Switzerland), affiliated to the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) developed a second-generation double antibody that protects from SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, and all its tested variants.
