The mortality rate of the recent global pandemic corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently as high as 7%. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the culprit behind COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped single-stranded RNA virus, the genome encodes four types of the structural proteins: S protein, E protein (envelope protein), M protein (matrix protein) and N protein (nucleocapsid protein). In COVID-19, monoclonal antibodies have played a significant role in diagnosis and treatment. This article briefly introduced the development of monoclonal antibodies targeting on S protein and N protein, which represents the main direction of monoclonal antibody drugs used in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. Meanwhile, the traditional Chinese medicine also plays important role in the fight against COVID-19 by regulating human immunity.
