Interestingly, some of the most potent SARS-CoV-specific neutralizing antibodies (e.g. m396, CR3014) that target the ACE2 binding site of SARS-CoV failed to bind 2019-nCoV spike protein, implying that the difference in the RBD of SARS-CoV and 2019-nCoV has a critical impact for the cross-reactivity of neutralizing antibodies, and that it is still necessary to develop novel monoclonal antibodies that could bind specifically to 2019-nCoV RBD. Next, we expressed and purified several representative SARS-CoV-specific antibodies which have been reported to target RBD and possess potent neutralizing activities, including m396 [3] , CR3014 [4] , CR3022 [5] , as well as a MERS-CoV-specific human monoclonal antibody m336 developed by our laboratory [15] , and measured their binding ability to 2019-nCoV RBD by ELISA (Figure 1(e)) .	./cache/cord-314574-3e6u4aza.txt	./txt/cord-314574-3e6u4aza.txt
