Coronavirus has deeply affected the whole world in the last two years. The disease, which started to be brought under control despite insufficient vaccination rates, is faced with a new treatment. In fact, nanobody therapy, which has been tried for a long time, has gained significant momentum, although not on the side of the coronavirus.
The nanobody therapy, which first started in May 2021 for the treatment of coronavirus, started to show the first successful results in August. The research that gives hope to the treatment, which is still under development, came from the Ebola virus.
Nanobodi therapy hope for coronavirus cure?
The drug developed by Pfizer for the treatment of coronavirus will begin to be used shortly. The nanobody treatment, which started to be researched in May, aims to completely prevent the disease with synthetic antibodies. Accordingly, this synthetic antibody therapy has the opportunity to counteract all variants, even if the coronovirus variants increase further.
Researchers have used this new technology for coronavirus treatment to discover all strains of the Ebola virus. Accordingly, the team that created nanobodies for five ebola viruses encountered a hitherto undiscovered golden type of ebola virus, thanks to the antibodies they developed.
This nanobody is also proof that synthetic antibodies work quite well. Perhaps one of the most important points for the disease, which caused deaths in Africa between 1976-2007 and could not be cured, is the detection of all variants of the virus. Nanobodi therapy is also thought to be an important step for the Ebola virus.
The researchers synthesized these nanobody antibodies on Llama. In fact, Llamas have appeared before in the treatment of coronavirus. Accordingly, some countries used special mixtures based on llama saliva against the coronavirus epidemic in the early days. The fact that the saliva of the llama produces enzymes that will not harm the human body also plays a major role here.
