Patent ID: 11220536

Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, having binding specificity for the S protein of coronaviruses (CoV-S), such as the S protein of the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV-S) and/or the S protein of the SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2-S), including neutralizing antibodies and antibodies that bind to and/or compete for binding to the same linear or conformational epitope(s) on CoV-S. Further disclosed are conjugates of anti-CoV-S antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. Methods of making said anti-CoV-S antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof are also contemplated. Other embodiments of the disclosure include the use of anti-CoV-S antibodies, and binding fragments thereof, for the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with coronaviruses, or the S protein thereof, and conditions where neutralization or inhibition of coronaviruses, or the S protein thereof, would be therapeutically and/or prophylactically beneficial.
