For several months, scientists from many countries, including Russia, are trying to create effective the vaccine for coronavirus. And their labors finally gave the first fruits: scientists from the two countries were able to identify in the laboratory, antibodies that can neutralize the virus SARS-CoV-2. 4 may on their success, said biologists from the Netherlands and today to create antibodies to coronavirus are in the science lab of the Institute for biological research Israel. These discoveries were a breakthrough and serious progress towards the creation of a vaccine, because the theory will not only help to cope with COVID-19, but also will prevent a similar epidemic in the future.
The scientists of the antibodies can attack the coronavirus, destroying the spiky protein — the main surface protein of SARS-CoV-2, which allows him to deftly enter the cells of the human body. Thus, the antibodies do not allow the coronavirus to spread. Depriving him of the opportunity of the movement, they essentially kill the dangerous virus, with reference to scientists.
According to the researchers, these antibodies can significantly speed up recovery of most patients with coronavirus, and over time the population will develop immunity to COVID-19. Ahead scientists need to conduct tests on animals and clinical trials on people before medical institutions worldwide will have access to life-saving vaccine. It is likely that these antibodies will not be as effective in a live environment, however, is that the researchers are very optimistic.
As antibodies (grey) affect the spread of coronavirus (blue)
The defense Minister of Israel Naftali Bennett said that once human trials are completed successfully, the country intends to establish the production of antibodies "in commercial quantities". That is, in Israel's plans to sell life-saving vaccine to other countries. Scientists from the Netherlands about this intention has not yet been reported. In any event, biologists from other countries will not be able to create antibodies to coronavirus, the vaccine will have to buy from those who have it already will be.
Yet scientists from other countries, including Russia, has learned to produce antibodies to the coronavirus in only one way — . To help other people with less strong immune system, a person who had coronavirus, take the plasma of the blood and put it in a sick person. In this plasma contains various substances, platelets for healing and antibodies developed by the immune system of the donor. After getting into human patients antibodies start to kill coronavirus, since they already had such an experience in the body of the donor. In fact the plasma of human blood — the same vaccine that helps in the fight against coronavirus. But it is very small, because not all want to become plasma donors, and the amount recovered from coronavirus is not as great as the number of cases.
Now to test on animals and humans
While most people will not be vaccinated with antibodies to coronavirus, all who have not developed immunity (who had been ill), will again get infected. And it will happen as long as the entire population of Earth has not been ill. Therefore, the creation of vaccine for coronavirus is a top priority. Originally, scientists said that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 , however, now there is the hope that antibodies will be available to most by the end of summer. Everything will depend on the success of the tests.
Another issue — if Israel plans to sell a vaccine against the coronavirus, how much it will cost? Now there are medications, one dose of which costs tens or even hundreds of millions of rubles. In theory, this should be taken care of governments, since not all citizens will have the opportunity to purchase life-saving shot, even if it will cost 5-10 thousand rubles. Still first and foremost in the interests of the government to prevent the spread of infection in the country.
Scientists are very close to creating a vaccine against coronavirus
