Covid breakthrough: Antibody find may mean no more booster jabs — ‘real revolution’

In the new study, the team revealed that two other antibodies — known as TAU-1109 and TAU-2310 — bind the viral spike protein in a different area to most of the other antibodies, a fact that made them less effective against the original Covid variant.

In contrast, however, this makes them very effective at neutralising the Delta and Omicron variants.

Dr Freund said: “According to our findings, the effectiveness of the first antibody, TAU-1109, in neutralising the Omicron strain is 92 percent, and in neutralising the Delta strain, 90 percent.

“The second antibody, TAU-2310, neutralises the Omicron variant with an efficacy of 84 percent, and the Delta variant with an efficacy of 97 percent.”
