Most of these drugs were based on human monoclonal antibody (“mAb”) technology and were designed to boost the immune system by mimicking natural neutralizing antibodies. The mAbs would bind with the SARS-CoV-2 virus’ receptor binding domain, a section of the viral spike protein, preventing it from entering the patient’s cells and exacerbating the infection.
