Since first reported,COVID-19 caused by 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection has spread rapidly around the world. 2019-nCoV can results in severe pneumonia and endanger patients' lives. Currently, there are no specific drugs for 2019-nCoV infection. The structures of 2019-nCoV spike protein and its receptor angiotension-converting enzyme 2 have been resolved, providing basis for drug development. Many 2019-nCoV-specific neutralizing antibodies have been obtained by single B cell antibody technology from human peripheral blood as well as other antibody screening technologies. The development of antibody drugs provides new options for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. This article briefly reviews the research and development of antibody drugs for 2019-nCoV.
