Researchers have found that children`s antibodies can effectively fight out Covid-19 infection, and that kids could be an underutilised source of potential antibody therapies to counteract the "ever-evolving" SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The team at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) in the US found that children`s antibodies displayed high levels of neutralisation and potency against variants of the Covid virus, even when they had not previously been exposed to or vaccinated against those variants.
