Llama antibodies could be a potent force in preventing infections from contagious COVID-19 variants, a biomedical company has claimed.
Researchers from the VIB-UGent Center for Medical Biotechnology in Ghent, Belgium, have found that antibodies extracted from a llama named Winter have neutralized the virus, including its variants, in laboratory testing.
The treatment would supplement vaccines by giving enhanced protection to people with weakened immune systems or help people who have been hospitalized with the virus, the company said.

You ain’t no Llama. Stop it y’all.
I have been curious for some time if any other company or institution is researching anything for CV19 or are we stuck with the 3 we have. If not, why ?
Well, it’s a crying shame that the therapy isn’t authorized by HHS edicts under PREP Act regarding ‘protocols’ for treatment.

I’ll take logi_cal antibodies for $25,000, Alex.

No no no, we need the jabbsterbation!
Is llama effective against lamda?
There was a young gaucho named Bruno
Who said, “Screwing is one thing I do know.
A woman is fine,
And a sheep is divine,
But a llama is Numero Uno.”

Llamas, having a somewhat different physiology than human beings, may very well be able to produce effective antibodies for the COVID-19 Wuhan virus. After all, horses were used to produce the antibodies necessary to control diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis for many years, but the problems with the anaphylactic shock that sometimes resulted from its use, due to the foreign proteins in the horse serum, has led to human-based serums used for the same purposes.
It may turn out that llamas may present a similar problem with the proteins from their blood serum.
“Llama antibodies may neutralize COVID and help prevent infections, lab trial finds”
I am sure glad someone is doing more research. That said, I hope they and all of us do realize that things like Llama antibodies will only work if the right people (politicians & bureaucrats) & companies (big enough Pharma to pay the politicians & bureaucrats) can make enough money from it.
The Belgian scientist is just trying to explain to his wife, why Winter has a room in their house.
Ecuadorian Mountain Llamas or Venezuelan Red Llamas?
RE: What about emu antibodies....
They may provide insurance. I mean insurance against the disease. Let’s look at some pages of sample policies....
It seems almost everything except the vaccine works on covid.
So Doctor Doolittle turned out to be smarter than Dr. Fauci.
Not surprising.
