Israeli Scientists Developed Monoclonal Antibody for COVID-19 Patients

Monoclonal Antibody: Hey there, I'm Rahul how is your day going? in this article, I'm going to discuss "Israeli Scientist Developed Monoclonal Antibody for COVID-19 Patients" and how it is possible for Israel to develop the antibody quickly so, a lot to know a lot to discuss I hope you will this article and I request you to read this article till the end.

Current Affair

Israel is the country where COVID-19 cases seem to be in control and total infected people in Israel are 16300 cases reported where only 240 people died because of COVID-19. As of 6th, the total testing of COVID-19 made by the government of Israel is about 423000 in which they are going to test 10% of their population soon. On top of that now Israel comes up with the Monoclonal Antibody which is used for COVID-19 patients, but still, this medicine is not launched and testing report of this Antibody ended up positively and it will take 8-12 months to launch it globally as COVID-19 medicine, Let us now discuss what is Monoclonal Antibody and how Israel developed this Antibody despite the pressure of Coronavirus and lockdown situation in Israel.

What is Monoclonal Antibody?

Generally, Antibody also known as an immunoglobulin is the protective layer of protein developed by the immune system in response to protect our body from an external substance, called an Antigen (In this case Coronavirus). For Example: Let us assume in a country 3 people lives A, B, and C, unfortunately, all 3 get infected by COVID-19 and let us how different type of body reacts to COVID-19 In Case of 'A': the COVID-19 turns him sick very quickly and he has to be hospitalized and provide with ventilators otherwise he may die. In Case of 'B': He doesn't know that he has been infected by COVID-19 and he was asymptomatic, he can spread COVID-19 unknowingly. In Case of 'C': He got infected by COVID-19 a month ago and after 2 weeks his immune system starts producing chemicals against COVID-19. He doesn't know anything about it where he manages to kill the virus within himself without any medications. he doesn't spread COVID-19 to others. In the above example, the chemicals produced by Mr.C are called an Antibody which helps him to get rid of COVID-19 by himself.

How does an Antibody works in an Immune system?

As we know the human body has trillions of cells in it from the top to bottom if a virus enters a human body the first task of it is to find a cell where it can enter and produce more virus cells in the body and later cause various diseases. Here antibodies play a significant role in the human body that it doesn't allow the viruses to enter into a cell where a virus without finding a cell will die automatically. These types of the human body can get in help to various others by Plasma therapy where the plasma in the blood is extracted and injected to another infected person. So if a human body with antibodies already produced by the immune system can't be affected by COVID-19 but, if a person whose immune system is weak and it can't produce antibodies here the Monoclonal Antibodies can be injected into the body to fight against the virus.

Israel's Achievements

The Minister of defense in Israel tweeted that they successfully separate an antibody from a cell which means in Plasma therapy where the plasma was injected into the human body which also includes a cell of donor's body where it is not good to inject someone cell into another's body. Now Israel has successfully separated an antibody from a cell of the human body and these antibodies can be directly injected to COVID-19 patient's body without any side effects. The Minister of defense in Israel also stated 3 key parameters of Monoclonal Antibody

1. The antibody is Monoclonal, New and refined and contains an exceptionally low proportion of harmful proteins
2. The antibody is able to neutralize the coronavirus
3. The antibody was specifically tested on the aggressive virus

The Israeli discovery of Monoclonal Antibody is a great discovery where it can save the lives of millions and it will the cure for COVID-19 until a proper vaccine is launched.

How Did Israel Manage To Do This

There are two main reasons behind this early discovery, they are as follows:

1. The PM of Israel controls the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) so that there is no delay regarding decision making and funding, that the research work begins as soon as the pandemic outbreak and the daily development was monitored from PM office in Israel.
2. Israel got an early start on Coronavirus family: from 2015 itself Israel is doing research and development of Vaccine for coronavirus spread earlier in 2008 at China and the IIBR says that it was the luck that is researching on the same virus family that has become a pandemic in the current situation.

Final Words:

Although Israel discovers the cure for COVID-19, the time required to test it on the human being, later to patent it and finally to launch the medicine it will take on less than 8-12 months which is concerning because in this time period the pandemic will kill the millions across the globe.
