Come on, get it done. I want to see this guy running out of the lab, in his white coat and google glasses, holding the test tube with cure high in the air, and yelling, “Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!!” Come on!!

There are quick tests already. Italy is already using them as far as I know.

No. It means we can develop a point of care test in 3-4 months instead of having to ship swabs to a lab and wait 4 hours for processing time.

So straight to human trial. Even if that's successful, it will take years to be readily available for humans but this alone could provide some hope in the world of toilet paper, hand sanitizer hoarding Ameri..err, world.

А тим часом, в Італії. :)

Wouldn't everyone who gets Corona develop antibodies? Or die?

That seems to be a no-nonsense, useful discovery.

If this is really so, it is groundbreaking and of immense importance.

It took months to get to this point?

How is this not the top story? It seems like big news. Not a preventive medicine, but at least a highly effective cure.

Prevention is of course better than a cure: a real solution is therefore a vaccine, others are working on that. However, developing a vaccine can easily take two years. Our medicine, if it all works as it should, could be here sooner. But it will be more expensive to produce.

a cheap first test has already been produced in China, but I don’t know how much they are able to create. I’ve asked them to send some tests here to try them, but the ban on flights from China is making that difficult.

I've always wondered why they can't get critically (but sane) patients to sign a waiver saying "yup might kill me, might not heal me, but if it does I'll save the world"

I'd be up for it if I was on deaths door 🤔

Too much red tape...

omg awesome ... ty lekkerdings..woot i hope you can go through all the phases

I sure hope they find success.

We still kept untested antibodies from the previous study in the refrigerator that did not react with all three mutations, but did with SARS1. When the current crisis – SARS2 – broke out, we immediately tested whether the antibodies that reacted with SARS1 also responded to SARS2. We then found the antibody that has now been published.”

“We are now trying to get a pharmaceutical company on board – which is looking promising, by the way – that can produce the antibody on a large scale as a medicine. Before it can be marketed, the antibody must go through an extensive development phase and be tested for toxicological properties. That process is now underway. In addition to the development as a medicine, we also want to use the antibody to set up a diagnostic test: one that everyone can do from home, so that people can easily find out whether they have an infection or not. ”

Disclaimer: The antibody still has to be tested on humans (and this will take months) and the article is under peer review before Nature will publish it. But Grosveld is hopeful: “We expect an email any moment”, says the Spinoza Prize winner in his lab on the tenth floor.
