Paper Modeling Activity 4: Build Antibodies and Antiviral Drugs

Our bodies can produce antibodies able to identify and defend against coronavirus infections, and small molecule antiviral drugs that can interrupt the virus replication process.
Our paper activity provided below can be printed and cut into 3-dimensional physical representations of antibodies and antiviral drugs. You can also draw your own.
