California biotech claims it's discovere an antibody that can block '100%' of coronavirus

Scientists at a California biotech company have found an antibody that completely blocks coronavirus in a discovery they called a 'cure,' Fox News reported. 

Sorrento Therapeutics, based in San Diego, claims its STI-1499 antibody stopped coronavirus from entering 100 percent of healthy human cells in petri dish experiments. 

It's one of several antibodies planned to be combined for a drug 'cocktail' Sorrento is developing in collaboration with Mt Sinai School of Medicine in New York. 

In a press release, Sorrento said it could produce up to 200,000 doses of the antibody a month - a production timeline that would likely make the drug available months sooner than a COVID-19 vaccine is expected. 

The company has filed for emergency approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but has not yet received the green light. 

Stocks for Sorrento soared by nearly 220 percent on the heels of the announcement.

'We want to emphasize there is a cure,' Sorrento's CEO, Dr Henry Ji, told Fox. 

'There is a solution that works 100 percent. 

'If we have the neutralizing antibody in your body, you don't need the social distancing. You can open up a society without fear.' 

It comes the same day that the Trump administration's social distancing guidelines to slow the spread are expiring, and as many states begin to reopen despite expert warnings that relaxing restrictions may trigger a devastating second wave of infections. 

Sorrento's drug, dubbed STI-1499 is one about a dozen antibodies - immune cells that neutralize pathogens like coronavirus - that the company discovered had some effect on coronavirus. 

A cocktail of antibodies could act like a 'protective shield' for human cells, preventing the virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 - from entering them. 

It blocks the virus from its primary doorway, a receptor on the surface of human cells, the ACE2 receptor. 

'This puts its arms around the virus. It wraps around the virus and moves them out of the body,' Dr Ji told Fox of what his company has seen in lab experiments. 

'When the antibody prevents a virus from entering a human cell, the virus cannot survive. 

'If they cannot get into the cell, they cannot replicate. So it means that if we prevent the virus from getting the cell, the virus eventually dies out. The body clears out that virus.' 

Multiple companies and universities around the world have been exploring the use of antibodies to treat coronavirus. 

Trials have already begun using blood plasma from recovered patients - which presumptively contains antibodies - to treat people still suffering the infection. 

Sorrento had collected a library of billions of antibodies over the past decade, and started systematically screening them for potential against coronavirus as what began as an outbreak exploded into a pandemic. 

Scientists there identified about a dozen antibodies that had some effect on the virus. 

As a result, they laid pans to create a cocktail of multiple antibodies, in the hope that, if the virus mutated to become immune to one antibody, others could provide back-up protection. 

STI-1499 is the clear front-runner to be the 'first' candidate antibody in the cocktail. 

'Our STI-1499 antibody shows exceptional therapeutic potential and could potentially save lives following receipt of necessary regulatory approvals,' said Dr Ji. 

'We at Sorrento are working day and night to complete the steps necessary to get this product candidate approved and available to the waiting public.'

Well don't tell Fauci and Bright, because that would ruin their day. Need to keep the economy shut down until we can get rid of Trump. No price to high to pay for that one!!!

 

Exactly. Talk about raining on Nancy Pelosi's parade ! :facepalm1:

She ain't gonna like it that her evil plan to break US using her filthy Chi-Com allies to do the dirty work

is gonna come crashing down!

 

We The People are pushing back against the left's hidden agenda to bring US to our knees and break US.

Hope this realization is well-reflected in The Polls in November. :tiphat:

With so  few 'moderate' Democrats left, and sheer ignorance driving 'the indoctrinated' to the zealotry of the 'far left',

it's our fervent hope many are now seeing what the left's TRUE agenda is all about, 

understand  that slavery is NOT an option and will refuse to lemming-out at their kommie command.

 

Now we have to fight back against the left's primary voting base,

their dream trifecta of ballot harvesting...

violent criminal felons, illegal aliens & dead voters.... <_<
