They bind to the surface structures of bacteria or viruses and prevent their replication. One strategy in the fight against disease is therefore to produce effective antibodies in large quantities and inject them into the patients. The outgoing US President Donald Trump probably owes his rapid recovery to this method.

Moreover, producing antibodies is difficult and time-consuming. They are therefore probably not suitable for widespread use.
