Therapeutic antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 based on camelid nanobodies

A panel of high affinity nanobodies (Nb) binding to diverse SARS-CoV-2 RBD epitopes of spike protein, and a set of nanobody-derived neutralizing heavy chain antibodies (hcAbs) have been identified. They have potential as therapy against SRAS-CoV-2 for immunocompromised or non-responding to vaccines individuals.
