What is Monoclonal Antibody treatment?
This type of therapy relies on monoclonal antibodies to help build up the immune system and build up antibodies naturally through an IV line so that the body doesn’t have to work as hard to fight off the infection. It helps to prime the immune system if you are exposed to COVID-19, and help it win the fight against COVID-19. It targets the spike protein and these specific antibodies interfere with the virus’ ability to attach and gain entry into human cells. It helps to boost the immune system until your body can mount up its own response.
