All SARS-CoV-2 variants neutralized by a potent new antibody

Researchers describe a mouse model used to generate a VH1-2 heavy chain (HC)- and Vκ1-33 light chain (LC)-based recombinant antibody that broadly neutralized all severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, including the newly emergent Omicron sub-variant BA.5.
