OREANDA-NEWS. The milk of goats and cows vaccinated against COVID-19, which contains antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, can be an effective tool in the fight against coronavirus. This was announced on Tuesday, February 22, Deputy Director for Clinical Work of the Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. G.N. Gabrichevsky Rospotrebnadzor Tatyana Ruzhentsova and leading researcher of the laboratory of immunobiological preparations of the institute Alexander Volkov.

Thus, the experts commented on the information, according to which scientists from the Ministry of Innovative Development of Uzbekistan were able to obtain milk with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 by vaccinating cows and goats against COVID-19.

According to Volkov and Ruzhentseva, ready-made antibodies have long been used in medicine to treat various diseases. In particular, as experts recalled, back in the early 1990s, a special technology was developed and put into practice at the Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology under the guidance of Professor Vladimir Aleshkin, which involves the use of human antibodies through the mouth.

At the same time, studies have confirmed that antibodies are not destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract. They also retain their properties when taken orally, Ruzhentsova and Volkov added in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.

At the same time, they drew attention to the fact that foreign antibodies, as active protein molecules, can cause a number of immunopathological reactions. In this case, we are talking about the fact that for antibodies that were obtained by scientists from Uzbekistan, it is necessary to conduct a large number of studies confirming their effectiveness.
