General information

mAb Beta-27 is a monoclonal antibody neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 identified in a memory B cell of a COVID-19 convalescent patient who had been infected with the Beta variant of SARS-CoV-2. It was shown to protect mice in a viral challenge (prevention of weight loss and decrease of viral titres) (Liu et al., 2022). The antibody neutralized the Delta strain, as well, but acted only weakly against the Omicron strain (Dejnirattisai et al., 2022).
