Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), with strong contagiousness, high susceptibility and long incubation period. cell entry by SARS-CoV-2 requires the binding between the receptor-binding domain of the viral spike protein and the cellular angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Here, we briefly reviewed the mechanisms underlying the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2, and summarized the latest research progress on SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and nanobodies, so as to better understand the development process and drug research direction of COVID-19. This review may facilitate understanding the development of neutralizing antibody drugs for emerging infectious diseases, especially for COVID-19.
