about this story:
The hunt for an effective treatment for COVID-19 has led a team of researchers to an unlikely ally: a llama named Winter and her antibodies. Scientists were inspired by antibodies produced by Winter to develop their synthetic antibody against SARS-CoV-2. Winter is four years old and living on a farm in the Belgian countryside operated by Ghent University’s VIB Center for Medical Biotechnology.
