Monoclonal Antibody Cocktail – An Exceptional Game Changer For Covid Treatment In India

Immunity against a pathogen occurs either naturally or as a result of exposure to it. Vaccination is a biological procedure that stimulates the immune system of a person.

It protects against the infectious agent after subsequent exposure to pathogenic diseases. Immunization has incredible potential to activate and destroy the invading illness in the human immune system. The immunization provides a more flexible and highly target-specific response by creating two kinds of lymphocytes, B and T. In B lymphocytes, B cells create specific antibodies to identify and remove pathogenic agents. On the contrary, monoclonal antibodies are antibodies which are purposely generated in the laboratory to tackle a given disease. The two antibodies in Roche's antibody cocktail 'Casirivimab' and 'Imdevimab' are targeted specifically against the SARS-CoV-2 protein. They block the virus from targetting into human cells and can be a potential game changer to combat Covid19.
