Antimicrobial Peptides

Neutralizing Antibodies and Antimicrobial Peptides Targeting S Protein Neutralizing antibodies are induced by antigens to protect cells from pathogen infection. Most neutralizing antibodies function at the earliest steps of viral infection through blocking interaction of the virus with cellular receptors and prevent entry into host cells. It has been reported that RBD of S protein efficiently elicits neutralizing antibodies against MERS-CoV by blocking viral entry at the binding step.
