GtoPdb Ligand ID: 11079

Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Monoclonal antibody 4A8 is a neutralising human antibody that binds to the N-terminal domain of the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 [1]. It was isolated from B cells collected from convalescent plasma from COVID-19 patients. 4A8 does not bind the ACE2 receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Spike protein and does not block Spike protein - ACE2 binding.

Bioactivity Comments
Monoclonal antibody 4A8 binds to the N-terminal domain of the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 with an EC50 of 5 ng/ml by ELISA [1]. It neutralises infection of Vero-E6 cells by authentic SARS-CoV-2 (EC50 of 610 ng/ml), and reduces SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA load (by qPCR) in Vero-E6 cell culture (EC50 390 ng/ml) and in ACE2-293T cells infected with a pseudotyped virus. In this same assay CR3022 showed no neutralising activity.
