Background

Anti-SARS-COV-2 REGN-COV2 is a combination of novel antibodies designed by Regeneron for both the prevention and treatment of SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This drug is a combination of the antibodies REGN10933 and REGN10987, derived from humanized VelocImmune® mice in addition to blood samples from patients who have recovered from COVID-19. These antibodies have been formulated to bind to multiple locations on the SARS-COV-2 spike protein, preventing viral escape.1 Two upcoming publications in the journal, Science, will provide additional information about preclinical research with the Anti-SARS-COV-2 REGN-COV2 antibody cocktail.2

Clinical trials for this drug started on June 11, 2020. Regeneron's clinical trial will study the effects of this drug on hospitalized COVID-19 patients, symptomatic COVID-19 patients (non-hospitalized), and uninfected individuals at high-risk of infection, including contacts of an infected individual.1

General Function
Spike protein S1 attaches the virion to the cell membrane by interacting with host receptor, initiating the infection. Binding to human ACE2 receptor and internalization of the virus into the endosomes of the host cell induces conformational changes in the Spike glycoprotein (PubMed:32142651, PubMed:32075877, PubMed:32155444). Uses also human TMPRSS2 for priming in human lung cells which is an essential step for viral entry (PubMed:32142651). Can be alternatively processed by host furin (PubMed:32362314). Proteolysis by cathepsin CTSL may unmask the fusion peptide of S2 and activate membranes fusion within endosomes.
