New COVID-19 Therapy Uses Plants |
|
|
|
New research led by Shawn Chen, a researcher with the Arizona State University's Biodesign Center for Immunotherapy, Vaccines and Virotherapy and School of Life Sciences, describes an innovative therapy for COVID-19, using transient expression in tobacco plants to develop and produce a monoclonal antibody, or mAb. This therapy may protect against COVID-19, even as the virus attempts to evade immune detection through mutation.
