  • Researchers are investigating therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting different vulnerable sites on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to prevent the virus from escaping treatment and to enhance protection against variants.
  • They discovered several effective neutralizing antibodies that can be used in combination, showing strong protection in a mouse model of infection.
  • One specific RBD antibody, WRAIR-2125, was particularly effective against all major variants and, when used with other mAbs, helped prevent the virus from evading the immune response.

Current consumer preferences for both clean label food ingredients and convenience-based foods has provided a unique opportunity to explore the application of novel natural food preservatives in sous vide products. The anaerobic environment and relatively low thermal processing of the sous vide process creates a favorable environment for the survival, germination, and outgrowth of spore-forming bacterium Clostridium perfringens. The aim of this study was to identify effective novel natural ingredient formulations against C.
