$HALB news out today: Halberd Corporation Produces a Second Monoclonal Antibody Against Covid-19 Spike Protein
Press Release | 12/23/2020
JACKSON CENTER, PA / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2020 / Halberd Corp. (OTC PINK:HALB) research has produced a second monoclonal antibody (mAb) against the Covid-19 spike protein. Initial testing displays a stronger affinity for the SARS-CoV-2 antigen than Halberd's initial antibody. Testing continues through the holidays on each antibody to establish potency and specificity (i.e., targets only the SARS-CoV-2 antigen) as well as a potential "cocktail mix" of both antibodies acting in concert.
Halberd's Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Patricio Reyes, stated, "This is very promising. In our in vitro experiments, our unique antibodies demonstrated a high degree of affinity and lysis for infected cells. In vivo studies are getting under way to demonstrate their efficacy in diagnosing COVID-19 as well as preventing viral replication and multi-organ system damage associated with COVID-19."
William A. Hartman, Chairman, President & CEO, stated, "We believe having multiple antibodies available not only increases our product application options, but also their effectiveness, when used in combination. Mathematically speaking, if each is 90% effective independently, then, absent any interrelationship of the two applications, the combination should be 99% effective. In other words, the prospect of obtaining diagnostic test false positives or false negatives is substantially reduced when antibodies work in tandem. The same would be true with regard to the use of antibodies in combination as a therapeutic tool as well as their use as a prophylactic measure in a nasal spray."
