Thesaurus
An Fc-modified neutralizing, recombinant, human monoclonal antibody directed against the spike (S) protein receptor binding domain (RBD) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), that can potentially be used for immunization against Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Upon administration of etesevimab, this agent specifically targets and binds to the RBD of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. This blocks viral attachment and entry into human host cells and may thereby neutralize SARS-CoV-2. This may slow the progression of the disease and accelerate recovery, and may also provide temporary protection against infection with SARS-CoV-2. S-protein, usually found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, plays an essential role in the infection pathway of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Immunologic Factor, Pharmacologic Substance
