吸附|年終巨獻:與人類“同居”兩年,改變世界的新冠病毒究竟為何物丨奇點深度( 四 )


第二個應對方案是 結合特定位點的中和抗體 。 雖然大部分中和抗體的活性都有所下降[23] , 但是已經有研究表明 ,結合S蛋白RBD位點IV的中和抗體(Sotrovimab和羅米司韋單抗)的活性 , 幾乎不受Omicron變異株突變位點的影響[32] 。 這也是安巴韋單抗/羅米司韋單抗組合對Omicron變異株保持中和活性的原因之一 。
第三個應對武器是 小分子藥物 。 已有多個實驗室的研究表明 , 已經獲得FDA批準獲得緊急使用授權的三種小分子藥物對所有當前的VOC活性保持不變[33,34] 。
有了這“三板斧” , 人類與新冠病毒之間的戰爭 , 也并非全無勝算 。
總的來說 , 隨著科學家對新冠病毒和新冠肺炎認知的加深 , 我們逐漸能摸清楚新冠病毒的弱點 , 最終大概率能找到克敵制勝的突破口 。 或許很快人類就可以與新冠病毒“和平共處” 。
