In lab tests, the engineered antibodies were found to neutralise the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19 infection. Findings from the research have been published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology journal.
These antibodies, called nanobodies because of their small size, are expected to be developed as a treatment for severe Covid-19.
