Antibodies to Lama Animal provides a promising treatment for Kofid-19

Kofide remedy derived from a female lama animal, called Vivi, showed promising results in the first experiments.

Treatment depends on micro -antibodies - or what is known as nanotechnology - which are smaller and simpler copies of the usual antibodies.The lama animal, as well as camels, produce these natural antibodies when exposed to infection.

Scientists say that when the tests succeed on humans, then the drug can be provided in the form of a nose spray that is easy to use for treatment, and perhaps to prevent the virus.

University professor James Naismith, one of the main researchers and director of the Rosalind Franklin Institute in Oxfordshire, says that micro -bodies are a great exciting discovery..Naismith continues that the rodents infected with the Corona virus have completely recovered within six days when they were treated with a nasal spray based on micro antibodies..

The treatment has been tested so far in animal laboratories only, and the Public Health Administration in England says that the new treatment is one of the most effective drugs in eliminating Kofid.This effectiveness in eliminating the disease comes from the power of micro -body fusion with the virus.

The upcoming treatment mechanism works just as our antibodies work, as tiny antibodies stick to and associated with viruses and bacteria that invade our bodies, and this attacked virus alerts the immune system, as if there is a red mark on the virus, which allows the rest of the defense of the immune system to attack and eliminate the virus.

These micro -antibodies, which researchers extracted from the immune system of the Lama animal, are strongly attached to the virus.

And when scientists taste the luminous animal, the place of test, with a small part that is not prepared from the viral protein, this stimulated its immune system to produce these special molecules, then the scientists withdrew a sample of the blood of the lama, to carefully withdraw the most powerful microbial bodies, and they purified them in order to choose the most compatibleWith viral protein, as is the case when you choose a key to open a lock.The team of researchers then managed to produce more quantities than the most powerful microbios.

"The immune system is very cool, as it works in a way that exceeds our perception," Naismith told the BBC..

As for university professor Shina Crocshank, who specializes in immunity diseases at Manchester University, she said that the results are impressive but are still in the early stages.

"We need more data and effectiveness about the safety of this treatment before transforming human experiences, with this, the available results are promising, and the fact that it may be cheaper and easier to use it may be cheaper.Coffee-19 will unfortunately stay with us for a while, so we will need more treatments..

Naismith and his assistants, who published their research in the journal "Nature Communication", agreed with this proposal, as they see that even with the success of Corona vaccinations, providing effective drugs in the future will be very important..

"The speed of the vaccine is different from one place to another in the world, and there are concerns about new mutations capable of outperforming the vaccines currently available," Naismith says..
