The Israeli government’s research institute on April 4 said it has successfully isolated a key antibody to the CCP virus, also known as the the novel coronavirus, potentially providing a possible treatment for the current pandemic.

In a joint statement with the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) published Monday night, the country’s defense minister, Naftali Bennet, said the agency briefed him on its “significant breakthrough” when he visited the facilities on Monday, explaining that they had effectively isolated the antibody that attacks the virus monocularly and neutralizes COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus, in carriers’ bodies.
