Significance Neutralizing antibodies are important for immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and as therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. We identified high-affinity nanobodies against SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain and found that nanobody cocktails consisting of two noncompeting nanobodies were able to block ACE2 engagement with RBD variants present in human populations and potently neutralize both wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and the N501Y D614G variant at low concentrations. Prophylactic administration of nanobody cocktails reduced viral loads in mice infected with the N501Y D614G SARS-CoV-2 virus, showing that nanobody cocktails are useful as prophylactic agents against SARS-CoV-2.
