Encyclopaedic information
Neutralizing antibodies directed at the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein have been evaluated as prophylactic and therapeutic agents for COVID-19.
Examples
Transplant recipients who are hospitalized with mild to moderate COVID-19 may be considered for anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies that are available through expanded access programs.

Research
Definition/description
Antibodies are essential components of the immune system that play key roles in processes associated with innate and adaptive immunity.

Development of antibodies does not prevent a fatal outcome.

Examples
The extreme variability observed in expressed antigen-naïve B-cell antibody repertoires is due to this combinatorial and junctional diversity, and partly ensures that the immune system is able to recognize and mount effective immune responses against a diverse range of potential pathogens.

Description
Antibodies are made by the immune system in response to falling ill or being vaccinated. Their presence in blood generally means someone has some at least some protection against a disease and won't fall ill.
Examples
The presence of coronavirus antibodies suggests someone has had the infection in the past or has been vaccinated. It takes between two and three weeks after infection or vaccination for the body to make enough antibodies to fight the virus.

Comments
Variants and synonyms
- antibodies
Description
You can still pick up the virus but your body now has antibodies to fight it which usually translates into a shorter illness or no illness at all.

Examples
It's not a killer like the original covid and those who catch it will be mildly unwell for a couple of days then develop natural antibodies.
