Why do you think antibodies against the N-terminal domain (NTD) provide protection against SARS-CoV2 when the NTD does not interact with the ACE2 receptor?   Question 23 options:   Binding causes steric hindrance of ACE2 to the receptor binding domain (RBD).   Antibodies interact with antigens using a lock-and-key interaction   Antibodies against the NTD recruit antibodies against the receptor binding domain (RBD).   Antibodies against the NTD are not protective.   Binding causes a conformational change in the RBD domain.
