CSIR through the New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative (NMITLI) program approved a project towards the development of human monoclonal antibodies (hmAbs) that can neutralize SARS-CoV-2 in coronavirus infected patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project on the generation of neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies as a therapeutic strategy will be implemented by a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team comprises academic institutes and industry with participants from NCCS, IIT-Indore, PredOmix Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and Bharat Biotech International Ltd (BBIL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project aims to generate hmAbs to SARS-CoV-2 from the convalescent phase of COVID-19 patients and select high affinity and neutralizing antibodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project will also anticipate future adaptation of the virus and generate hmAbs clones that can neutralize the mutated virus so that could be readily used for combating future SARS-CoV infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BBIL is the commercial partner of the project and is responsible for subsequent development and commercialization of the hmAbs generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CSIR is leading the fight against COVID-19 using a multi-pronged approach and multiple models of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CSIR is also supporting new ideas and projects from other academics and industries through its flagship NMITLI program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
