The burden of COVID-19 and the emergence of virus variants necessitates continued exploration of neutralizing antibody therapies and methods of treatment. Duty et al. identify a human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes recently described SARS-CoV-2 variants and, when administered intranasally or intravenously, offers protection in a mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 disease.
Detailed methods are provided in the online version of this paper and include the following:
