NMR (Non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies)

NMR (Non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies) are specialized antibodies designed to bind to specific parts of a virus or pathogen without blocking its ability to infect cells. Unlike neutralizing antibodies, which prevent infection directly, non-neutralizing ones can help the immune system recognize and clear the pathogen through other mechanisms, like activating immune cells. These antibodies are produced in labs to target particular structures, aiding in understanding immune responses and developing therapies or vaccines. Their role is valuable in research and treatment, even though they do not directly stop the pathogen from infecting cells.
