The US company claims to get antibodies to prevent 100% corona: Sorrento Therapeutics






Sorrento Therapeutics




                     Sorrento Therapeutics in the United States has found a coronavirus antibody that has been shown in the laboratory to be able to prevent 100% of infections. The results of that pre-clinical lab test have now made people optimistic.

Sorrento Therapeutics Inc., a small-scale biopharmaceutical company in the United States, primarily studies human therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, digestion, and infectious diseases.


A report by Business Insider, a US business and technology website, said the company's share price rose 244 percent on Friday after it claimed to have discovered the Covid-19 antibody. Researchers at the institute claim that pre-clinical trials of antibodies they have found have been shown to be 100% effective against the virus in the laboratory.


The company said it would develop an antibody cocktail that would act as a "protective shield" against the coronavirus. The results of their test will soon be submitted to a peer review journal. In addition the regulators will ask the antibody to evaluate the candidate's preferences and conduct a speedy review. If clinical research seems successful, they will work with pharmaceutical companies, governments and partners to increase production.
he market value of Sorrento stood at crore 549 million on Thursday, while on Friday it stood at crore 9 billion.

The technology website TechCrunch reports that it was an in vitro lab test that did not apply antibodies to any actual human body. Yet it is a potential innovation. Because, the company is working on making an antibody cocktail, which can provide protection against the virus even after mutation.


Sorrento said the antibody, called STI-1499, came out of their test, which completely blocked the interaction of SARS-Cove-2 spike proteins with human cells. This means that it prevents the virus from infecting the healthy cells of the host.

Sorrento's covid-shield is meant to deal with a powerful mixture of different antibodies, which will protect against various attacks of the virus. However, the agency said it would also seek the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop STI-1499 antibodies as a single therapy.

TechCrunch says it is important to be careful that there is no cure or vaccine magic bullet in the treatment of SARS-Cov-2 or Covid-19. But it is still a promising discovery that needs to be kept in mind in clinical trials and control processes.
