    This strategy can reduce the chance of producing drug-resistant viruses during antibody therapy, thereby increasing the possibility of antibody binding to future virus variants

    The researchers also modified the crystallizable fragment region (Fc segment) of each antibody to extend the antibody's half-life

    Major diseases
    .
    At present, the pathology research progress is relatively slow for most acute infectious diseases caused by viruses
    .
    Humans have developed a large number of antibiotics against bacterial infections, but have not yet found powerful broad-spectrum antiviral drugs, and the world is facing the threat of drug-resistant bacteria

    Tengshengbo Pharmaceutical will be committed to introducing the world's excellent anti-infective innovative technologies and therapies, exploring better research and development models for infectious disease drugs, and benefiting patients as soon as possible
