Obviously, we designed a combo【组合】 therapy from the beginning, because we predicted that the virus will have a lot of mutations【突变】 coming in the future. So having the combo definitely can help that. And in the past, we have lab testing result showing that our antibodies are active against almost all the dominant variants of concern. So, we believe that the experience of our scientists helped to develop this wonderful medicine.
