answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2020 answer text <p>The importance of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 is recognised in the search for effective treatments for COVID-19 infection. At present there are a range of clinical trial initiatives in the United Kingdom in which treatments are being carefully evaluated, including. Some known sources of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. The REMAP-CAP clinical trial involves two sites at which plasma from patients who are convalescing after COVID-19 infection are being clinically evaluated. Plasma is collected at least 28 days after recovery so that antibody levels have increased significantly.</p><p>Other initiatives are bringing forward candidate treatments that, although promising, cannot be immediately deployed as they will require further research before they can be safely evaluated in human trials. Alternative sources of antibodies, such as the source described in this publication, may be in scope for consideration if other approaches fail.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 29/05/2020 19:00:55 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 22360 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481
