General information

S2H97 is a human monoclonal antibody recognizing a cryptic epitope within Spike RBD from various sarbecovirus clades including SARS-CoV-2. It does not inhibit ACE2 binding but has neutralization capacity (likely via premature conversion of Spike into the post-fusion state). S2H97 displayed protective effect in an animal challenge (Starr et al., 2021).

The antibody bound Spike RBD of various sarbecovirus clades including SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. It neutralized various SARS-CoV-2 variant pseudoviruses. It was shown to bind a cryptic epitope within RBD, thus likely inducing premature conversion of Spike into the post-fusion state. The antibody reduced lung viral loads in a hamster model.
