Cow plasma used for potential Covid-19 antibody treatment

 

What may be an effective weapon against the novel coronavirus is coming from an unlikely source: a barn in South Dakota.

SAb Biotherapeutics, a South Dakota-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, plans to begin human trials of a COVID-19 antibody treatment using plasma from cows.

To do so, scientists genetically engineered the cattle's immune system to produce human antibodies that have the ability to fight against the SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen that causes the COVID-19 disease that has killed over 460,000 people worldwide.

The cows are essentially injected with a coronavirus vaccine, prompting their immune system to try and ward off the infection, NPR explained. The cows then "produce a specifically targeted high-neutralizing antibody that can be used in patients," Dr. Eddie Sullivan, CEO and co-founder of SAb Biotherapeutics, told NPR.

Antibodies are produced by immune systems after the body detects the presence of a foreign substance otherwise known as an antigen. Antibodies then latch onto antigens in an effort to remove them from the body.
