drug named Evusheld has been approved to prevent Covid in people with weak immune systems, the government has confirmed.Evusheld was authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) today ( March 17), after meeting the UK regulatory standards of safety, quality and effectiveness.The drug, which was developed by AstraZeneca, was accepted for treatment after being endorsed by the government’s independent expert scientific advisory body, the Commission on Human Medicines.Evusheld is a combination of two long-acting antibodies that works by binding to the spike protein on the outside of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes Covid-19. This in turn stops the disease from fixing to and entering human cells.The new medicine is permitted to be used before being exposed to the risk of Covid-19 infection in order to prevent disease.

Coronavirus vaccine: Key element of antibody response to covid decoded

LOS ANGELES : Scientists have discovered a common feature found in many of the human antibodies that neutralise the novel coronavirus, a finding which they say can aid successful vaccine development against COVID-19.While multiple vaccine candidates have entered clinical trials, the researchers, including those from the Scripps Research Institute in the US, said the features of human antibodies which contribute to the most effective immune response against the novel coronavirus -- SARS-CoV-2 -- remain unclear.In the study, published in the journal Science, they assessed nearly 300 recently identified human SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and uncovered a gene frequently associated with those most effective against the virus.The researchers explained

Antibodies are detected in the blood of people who are tested after infection; they show the body’s efforts to fight off a specific infection.
