A new drug to treat COVID has been described as "very exciting" in its ability to lessen the effects of the virus in seriously ill people.
It uses a therapy called monoclonal antibodies - artificially manufactured proteins that prevent the virus attacking the body.
What are monoclonal antibodies?
Monoclonal antibodies have been around for a while, used to treat other diseases like cancer.
Once introduced to the body, they stick to antigens - proteins on the outside of a cell, bacteria or other molecular structure like a virus, capable of causing disease.
