Mechanism of action

BRII-196 and BRII-198 are individually engineered monoclonal antibodies designed to bind non-overlapping epitopes on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain, preventing viral attachment to human ACE2 receptors. The combination approach is intended to reduce the risk of viral escape and resistance. This dual-antibody cocktail can be used for both post-exposure prophylaxis and early treatment of COVID-19.
