Deskripsi

An antibody, IY-2A, identified from a panel of class-4 SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies isolated from convalescent and vaccinated individuals, targets and induces partial unfolding of a conserved epitope within the RBD. IY-2A retains activity against BA.4/5 subvariants and neutralizes diverse sarbecoviruses.
