Table 1.

Advantages of the suggested recombinant protein.

Advantage Explanation
Gain of specificity at 100% The use of ACE-2 ectodomain guaranties the same binding affinity
It avoids side effects No chemical compound unlike drugs
It is based on innate immune system reactions Opsonization and phagocytosis
It doesn’t create a cross reactivity of the immune system against the recombinant protein Both of proteins are human; part of the body
It doesn’t require many technologies neither a lot of stages Monoclonal antibodies production holds many steps and take more time
It could be applied for eventual new receptors engaged as an entry way of SARS-CoV-2 The ectodomain will be changed according to the new receptor
