Mechanism of action

Casirivimab and imdevimab are recombinant human monoclonal antibodies that target non-overlapping epitopes on the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. By binding to the spike protein, they prevent the virus from attaching to and entering human cells, thereby neutralizing viral infectivity. The combination approach reduces the risk of viral escape mutants.
