新冠中和抗体SA55是采用首创的高通量测序技术，从约13000种抗体库中挑选出的中和抗体，能高效结合多种冠状病毒共有且不易突变的位点。 研究显示，新冠中和抗体SA55能够高效中和包括XBB、XBB.1、XBB.1.5在内的多种奥密克戎变异株，是对目前世界卫生组织认定为需要留意变异株仍保持高中和活性的广谱单克隆抗体。 新冠单克隆中和抗体可用于新冠病毒感染的预防和治疗。 基于其给药后可快速提高体内抗体水平、半衰期长的特点，可以在免疫抑制人群以及不适合接种疫苗的人群中用于预防新冠感染；作为治疗用药，新冠中和抗体安全性良好、用药禁忌少，相比新冠小分子药物，适用人群更广。 同时，由于新冠病毒不断变异和发生逃逸，对单克隆抗体药物带来很大挑战，广谱中和抗体被认为是预防及治疗新型冠状病毒感染的重要手段。

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variantCOVID-19
The Omicron variant is a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) from South Africa on 24 November 2021. On 26 November 2021, the WHO designated it as a variant of concern and named it "Omicron", the fifteenth letter in the Greek alphabet. wikipedia.org
- On 24 November 2021, the variant was first reported to the WHO from South Africa, based on samples that had been collected from 14 to 16 November.
- The Omicron variant likely will spread more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and how easily Omicron spreads compared to Delta remains unknown. CDC expects that anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or don’t have symptoms.
- More data are needed to know if Omicron infections, and especially reinfections and breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated, cause more severe illness or death than infection with other variants.
- Current vaccines are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths due to infection with the Omicron variant. However, breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated are likely to occur.
