A cross-reactive human IgA monoclonal antibody blocks SARS-CoV-2 | ResearchBunny

Index

Abstract

This study discovers and characterizes a cross-reactive human IgA monoclonal antibody, MAb362, which binds to both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins and blocks ACE2 receptor binding. MAb362 IgA neutralizes both pseudotyped and authentic SARS-CoV-2 viruses, while the IgG isotype does not. The results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 specific IgA antibodies may provide effective mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2.
