Nanobodies may be used as an antiviral treatment against COVID-19
Researchers isolate nanobodies from Alpaca blood that attach themselves to the spike protein of receptor ACE2, which prevents the entry of the virus into the cell. Thereby, the virus cannot infect the cell as its entry has been blocked. These nanobodies can be used as potent antiviral treatment against the virus.
