Nanobodies from llamas hold hope for CoVid-19 treatment(s) [View all]
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-58628689 2 days agoA Covid therapy derived from a llama named Fifi has shown "significant potential" in early trials.
It is a treatment made of "nanobodies", small, simpler versions of antibodies, which llamas and camels produce naturally in response to infection.
Once the therapy has been tested in humans, scientists say, it could be given as a simple nasal spray - to treat and even prevent early infection.
Prof James Naismith described nanobodies as "fantastically exciting". ]snip]
Yeah, yeah...a single drop of llamajuice and a binder of some sort...
