Provided are innovative compositions for tethering blocking an inactivating of airborne respiratory infectious viruses. The compositions comprise bispecific proteins with two different antigen binding regions (ABR), which are typically configured as immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISV). A first ISV binds to a surface protein found on an airborne infectious virus. A second ISV binds to a mucin protein, e.g. a mucin protein present on ocular, nasopharyngeal, tracheal and/or oral surfaces of a mammal. The two ISV are joined by a polypeptide linker.

Disclosed herein are recombinant antibodies or the fragment thereof for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). According to some embodiments, the SARS-CoV is SARS-CoV-1. According to some alternative embodiments, the SARS-CoV is SARS-CoV-2. Also disclosed herein are a kit comprising the recombinant antibodies, and a method for diagnosing the infection of SARS-CoV by using the recombinant antibody or the kit.

The invention relates to antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that recognize coronavirus spike proteins(CoV-S), such as the spike protein of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirusspike protein(MERS-S). In some embodiments, the antibodiesbind to CoV-S with high affinity, inhibit CoV infection of human cells, inhibit CoV sialic acid-binding activity and/or bind to multiple types of CoV-S. In some embodiments, the antibodies provide a means of preventing, treating or ameliorating CoV infection.
