Vaccine boosters may not be necessary anymore, according to a peer-reviewed study conducted by a team of Israeli researchers who say they have found antibodies that effectively neutralize the coronavirus.
Researchers led by TAU’s microbiologist Dr. Natalia Freund found antibodies that could be utilized to create a very effective antibody infusion, which is already used to treat some coronavirus patients.
The study, which began in October 2020 and was peer-reviewed, was published in Nature’s Communications Biology section.
“When the coronavirus hit Israel, everything stopped. But not our team. We are working twenty-four seven to isolate neutralizing antibodies to serve as new therapeutics and guides for vaccines against the new corona virus. Recently, we have isolated six such antibodies from two donors that were sick and recovered from COVID-19,” Freund announced in June 2020.
