Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has resulted in millions of infections and deaths. Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) offer an effective treatment option. However, the virus's rapid mutation leads to immune escape from most neutralizing mAbs, including approved therapeutics. This review focuses on four types of broadly neutralizing mAbs targeting the spike protein: those targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD), subdomain 1 (SD1), stem helix, or fusion peptide. Understanding how these mAbs maintain potency against various variants is crucial for developing future therapeutics and vaccines.
