説明

<jats:title>A steric block to SARS-CoV-2</jats:title> <jats:p> In response to infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the immune system makes antibodies, many of which target the spike protein, a key player in host cell entry. Antibodies that potently neutralize the virus hold promise as therapeutics and could inform vaccine design. Lv <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> report a humanized monoclonal antibody that protected against SARS-CoV-2 in a mouse model. The cryo–electron microscopy structure, together with biochemical, cellular, and virological studies, showed that the antibody acts by binding to the receptor-binding domain of the spike and blocking its attachment to the host receptor. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6510" page="1505" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="369" xlink:href="10.1126/science.abc5881">1505</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
