Going forward, structural knowledge of the interactions of Spike with its cellular receptor has identified several regions that may be good targets for future mAb therapeutics. A focus on designing variant-resistant mAbs together with cocktails that target several epitopes and the use of other variant mitigating strategies such as the concomitant use of small molecule antivirals and polyclonal preparations could extend the clinical usefulness of future preparations.
