Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An emerging coronavirus, termed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causes the disease known as COVID-19. To date, SARS-CoV-2 continues to rapidly spread globally and seriously threaten public health. Therapeutic antibodies are shown to be very effective in the treatment of various diseases, including viral infection and immune disorder. Clinical trials with antibody-based drugs for COVID-19 are being performed all over the world. Some of them are quite promising. For example, Bamlanivimab, a neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2, was authorized by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19 in high-risk patients on November 9, 2020. This Special Issue will collect the last progress on antibody-based therapeutics against COVID-19 from bench to bedside.
