Fighting COVID-19 With... Llamas?!

Scientists are exploring the use of antibodies from COVID-19 survivors and llamas to combat the virus. Llama antibodies, particularly from a llama named Winter, show promise due to their unique structure and ability to neutralize coronaviruses. These antibodies are smaller and more stable, making them suitable for various medical applications. However, challenges remain in producing them sustainably and testing their efficacy. If successful, they could aid in treatment and improve diagnostic tests.
