T540 0-68 Sentence denotes Neutralizing Antibodies and Convalescent Plasma Therapy for COVID-19
T541 69-274 Sentence denotes While vaccines are being developed to educate a person’s immune system to make their own nAbs against SARS-CoV-2, there is interest in using adoptive transfer of nAbs as a therapeutic approach (Figure 6D).
T542 275-530 Sentence denotes This strategy has already proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-1 (Cao et al., 2010, Ho et al., 2005, ter Meulen et al., 2004, Park et al., 2020, Sui et al., 2004, Zhu et al., 2007) and MERS-CoV (Forni et al., 2015, Jia et al., 2019, Ying et al., 2015).
T543 531-703 Sentence denotes In the case of SARS-CoV-2, these efforts are primarily centered on identifying nAbs made during natural infections or generating nAbs through animal vaccination approaches.
T544 705-740 Sentence denotes nAbs Derived from COVID-19 Patients
T545 741-926 Sentence denotes Patients who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection are one potential source of nAbs (Chen et al., 2020a, Ju et al., 2020, Walls et al., 2020, Wölfel et al., 2020, Yuan et al., 2020).
T546 927-1157 Sentence denotes In an effort to obtain these nAbs, scientists sorted RBD-specific memory B cells and cloned their heavy and light variable regions to express recombinant forms of the corresponding antibodies (Chen et al., 2020a, Ju et al., 2020).
T547 1158-1319 Sentence denotes Four of the antibodies produced in these studies (31B5, 32D4, P2C-2F6, P2C-1F11) showed high neutralizing potential in vitro, and all inhibited ACE2-RBD binding.
T548 1320-1439 Sentence denotes Successful antibody-mediated neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 seemed to be dependent on the inhibition of ACE2/RBD binding.
T549 1440-1634 Sentence denotes However, Chen et al. showed that nearly all antibodies derived from serum of 26 recovered patients bound to S1 and RBD, with only three actually inhibiting ACE2/RBD binding (Chen et al., 2020a).
T550 1635-1872 Sentence denotes Of note, a SARS-CoV-1-derived neutralizing antibody (47D11) (Wang et al., 2020a) and a single-chain antibody against SARS-CoV-2 (n3130) (Wu et al., 2020c) have also been shown to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 without inhibiting ACE2/RBD binding.
T551 1873-1963 Sentence denotes Thus, blocking this interaction may not be a prerequisite for an effective SARS-CoV-2 nAb.
T552 1964-2208 Sentence denotes The generation of a hybridoma producing a monoclonal nAb against SARS-CoV-2 provides the potential for a therapeutic Ab that can be directly administered to patients to block ongoing infection and potentially even as a prophylactic (Figure 6D).
T553 2210-2252 Sentence denotes SARS-CoV-1 nAbs Also Neutralize SARS-CoV-2
T554 2253-2343 Sentence denotes SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 consensus sequences share about 80% identity (Tai et al., 2020).
T555 2344-2513 Sentence denotes Thus, a wide range of SARS-CoV-1 nAbs have been tested for crossreactivity with SARS-CoV-2, as they could help speed up the development of potential COVID-19 treatments.
T556 2514-2639 Sentence denotes In a recent study, antibodies were isolated from the memory B cells of an individual who recovered from SARS-CoV-1 infection.
T557 2640-2793 Sentence denotes While 8 out of 25 isolated antibodies could bind SARS-CoV-2 S protein, one of them (s309; see Table 3 ) also neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 (Pinto et al., 2020).
T558 2794-2929 Sentence denotes The combination of s309 with a weakly neutralizing antibody that could bind another RBD epitope led to enhanced neutralization potency.
T559 2930-3083 Sentence denotes In addition, CR3022 (Table 3) was found to bind SARS-CoV-2 RBD (Tian et al., 2020b), but this antibody did not neutralize SARS-CoV-2 (Yuan et al., 2020).
T560 3084-3298 Sentence denotes Computational simulations identified three amino acids that could be modified on CR3022 to enhance its binding affinity with SARS-CoV-2 RBD (Giron et al., 2020), potentially augmenting its neutralization potential.

T580 4865-5073 Sentence denotes Another antibody isolated from camelids immunized with SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV S proteins then fused to a human Fc fragment showed neutralization potential against SARS-CoV-2 (VHH-72-Fc) (Wrapp et al., 2020).
T581 5074-5258 Sentence denotes Genetically modified mice with humanized antibody genes can also be used to generate therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, as successfully experimented against Ebola virus (Levine, 2019).
T582 5259-5567 Sentence denotes Similar studies are now focused on the use of SARS-CoV-2 or derivatives to generate highly effective nAb in animal models, which can be directly given to infected patients, and efforts are already underway with estimates of clinical trials of pooled antibody cocktails beginning in early summer by Regeneron.
T583 5568-5753 Sentence denotes Finally, another approach to nAb development is to fuse ACE2 protein and the Fc part of antibodies, as they would bind RBD and potentially be crossreactive among other CoVs (Figure 6D).
T584 5754-5896 Sentence denotes Indeed, an ACE2-Fc (Lei et al., 2020a) and an RBD-Fc (Li et al., 2020d) have been shown to neutralize both SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.
T585 5898-5925 Sentence denotes Convalescent Plasma Therapy
T586 5926-6131 Sentence denotes Although recombinant nAbs could provide an effective treatment, they will require a significant time investment to develop, test, and bring production to scale before becoming widely available to patients.
T587 6132-6308 Sentence denotes A faster strategy consists of transferring convalescent plasma (CP) from previously infected individuals that have developed high titer nAbs that target SARS-CoV-2 (Figure 6D).
T588 6309-6594 Sentence denotes Despite the current lack of appropriately controlled trials, CP therapy has been previously used and shown to be beneficial in several infectious diseases, such as the 1918 influenza pandemic (Luke et al., 2006), H1N1 influenza (Hung et al., 2011), and SARS-CoV-1 (Arabi et al., 2016).
T589 6595-6812 Sentence denotes Thanks to the development of serological tests (Amanat et al., 2020, Cai et al., 2020, Xiang et al., 2020b, Zhang et al., 2020d), recovered COVID-19 patients can be screened to select plasma with high antibody titers.
T590 6813-7081 Sentence denotes Some studies and case reports on CP therapy for COVID-19 have evaluated the safety and the potential effectiveness of CP therapy in patients with severe disease (Ahn et al., 2020, Duan et al., 2020, Pei et al., 2020, Shen et al., 2020, Zhang et al., 2020b) (Table 4 ).
T591 7082-7244 Sentence denotes These studies were neither controlled nor randomized, but they suggest that CP therapy is safe and can have a beneficial effect on the clinical course of disease.
T592 7245-7344 Sentence denotes Further controlled trials are needed to determine the optimal timing and indication for CP therapy.
T593 7345-7524 Sentence denotes CP therapy has also been proposed for prophylactic use in at-risk individuals, such as those with underlying health conditions or health care workers exposed to COVID-19 patients.
T594 7525-7607 Sentence denotes The FDA has approved the use of CP to treat critically ill patients (Tanne, 2020).
T595 7608-7876 Sentence denotes Determining when to administer the CP is also of great importance, as a study in SARS-CoV-1 patients showed that CP was much more efficient when given to patients before day 14 day of illness (Cheng et al., 2005b), as previously shown in influenza (Luke et al., 2006).
T596 7877-7974 Sentence denotes This study also showed that CP therapy was more efficient in PCR-positive, seronegative patients.
T597 7975-8071 Sentence denotes The amount of plasma and number of transfusions needed requires further investigation (Table 4).
