Amubarvimab shows specific activity against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and no cross-reactivity against other coronaviruses[1].
Amubarvimab binds to two regions spanning amino acids 453-505 in the receptor-binding motif (RBM) and amino acids residues 403-421 in the core region of RBD[1].
Amubarvimab (10-50 mg/kg; i.p.) in combination with romlusevimab significantly decreases viral load in the lungs, and reduces lung pathology in a Syrian golden hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection[1].
