Therapeutic Human Monoclonal Antibodies from SARS-CoV-2 Surface Protein
SARS-CoV-2 surface proteins play a crucial role in the virus's ability to infect human cells. The spike protein, in particular, is responsible for mediating the virus's entry into host cells by binding to the ACE2 receptor on human cell surfaces. Understanding these surface proteins is essential for developing vaccines and therapeutic strategies aimed at neutralizing the virus. In addition to the spike protein, SARS-CoV-2 surface proteins, including the envelope and membrane proteins, contribute to the virus's structure and function, making them important targets for ongoing research in the fight against COVID-19.

Receptors are essential for cellular communication, as they enable cells to respond to external stimuli. These proteins bind to specific molecules, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, to trigger a response inside the cell. Receptors are involved in numerous biological processes, including sensory perception, immune function, and metabolism. Understanding how receptors work is vital for developing targeted therapies for various health conditions.
