BBC: Covid: Immune therapy from llamas shows promise. “A Covid therapy derived from a llama named Fifi has shown ‘significant potential’ in early trials. It is a treatment made of ‘nanobodies’, small, simpler versions of antibodies, which llamas and camels produce naturally in response to infection.”
CNET: Llama antibodies might bring us closer to neutralizing COVID-19. “Whoever had llamas from Belgium on their social isolation bingo card, consider yourself free to tick that box. According to a peer-reviewed study, due to be published in Cell on May 5, llama blood might hold the key to unlocking new treatments for COVID-19 — and lessen the stress the coronavirus pandemic has placed on the world.”
