*From March 16.* *For nearly 20 years, SAb has been developing and perfecting a unique method * *of using **genetically engineered cows as the source from which to harvest antibodies * *that can fight **human diseases such as influenza, diabetes and cancer. *
*"The process risks transmission of bovine viruses and prions responsible* *for BSE (mad cow disease) to humans," notes Darwin K. Hoop.* *(If they're "working feverishly" to rush out that new vaccine, shouldn't they* *be quarantined?)* *MCM* Cows play part in coronavirus vaccine development - By Bart Pfankuch, South Dakota News Watch - Mar 16, 2020 - https://www.agupdate.com/tristateneighbor/news/state-and-regional/cows-play-part-in-coronavirus-vaccine-development/article_ece6ce6a-679a-11ea-b681-6f3f2dc32f68.html - Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.agupdate.com%2Ftristateneighbor%2Fnews%2Fstate-and-regional%2Fcows-play-part-in-coronavirus-vaccine-development%2Farticle_ece6ce6a-679a-11ea-b681-6f3f2dc32f68.html%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_campaign%3Duser-share> - Twitter <https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?&text=Cows%20play%20part%20in%20coronavirus%20vaccine%20development&via=agupdatecom&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.agupdate.com%2Ftristateneighbor%2Fnews%2Fstate-and-regional%2Fcows-play-part-in-coronavirus-vaccine-development%2Farticle_ece6ce6a-679a-11ea-b681-6f3f2dc32f68.html%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_campaign%3Duser-share> - Email <?subject=%5BAgUpdate%5D%20Cows%20play%20part%20in%20coronavirus%20vaccine%20development&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.agupdate.com%2Ftristateneighbor%2Fnews%2Fstate-and-regional%2Fcows-play-part-in-coronavirus-vaccine-development%2Farticle_ece6ce6a-679a-11ea-b681-6f3f2dc32f68.html%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Duser-share> [image: SAB Biotherapeutics cow] Cows that SAB Biotherapeutics uses to produce antibodies were modified with a human gene and cloned.

SAb Biotherapeutics has emerged as a major player in the effort to generate a viable antidote to the fast-moving virus that is sweeping across the world and the United States, so far sickening more than 140,000 and killing several thousand. Eddie Sullivan, CEO of SAb, said the company is working on producing a polyclonal antibody therapeutic to coronavirus that it expects will be ready for the pre-clinical and clinical-trial evaluations by the end of the summer, paving the way for a potential treatment shortly thereafter, depending on the pace of regulatory approval. *Click on the link for the rest.* -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
