Part 5/8:

A Breakthrough Antibody in the Fight Against Dengue

This particular antibody displayed extraordinary efficacy: just a tiny amount was enough to kill the dengue virus within hours. Initially, the team thought this might be an anomaly or mistake, so they meticulously repeated their experiments. Repeated success confirmed that they had indeed found a powerful natural antibody—an antibody with immense potential for therapy.

Manufacturing and Clinical Development

Once identified, the next step involved growing large quantities of this antibody. Using sophisticated cell incubators, the team cultivated human cells that produced the antibody continuously. The cells were shaken inside these incubators to optimize production, much like brewing a biological "factory."
