A selection of 14 discrete antibodies - which they call neutralising?? ( a neutralising antibody in sufficient quantity blocks the virus by attachment in some manner to either the places the virus attaches on the cell or to the virus itself and creates a more or less steric hindrance(mechanical blockage - google it) so the virus fails to attach and fails to enter the cell = end of infection.
They speak of a selection of 14 discrete molecules that each have some sort of blocking effect. The concept is valid. Any such interference will reduce the floating virus that can attach, and the bodies adaptive immune system will carry on making it's own neutralizing antibodies until the bodies immune system fully represses the infection. Usually the adaptive system creates a longer lasting immunity than an added block of 14 foreign neutralizing antibodies which are cleared from the blood in time.
It is a de-facto non reproducing vaccine, like inactivated polio vaccine versus live virus polio vaccine.
