    No, it wouldn't. We're talking about antibodies, not antibiotics. Antibodies are molecules that bind to the receptors of bacteria/viruses and thus prevent them from binding to your cells and infecting them. That's all they do - basically turn harmful agents into harmless dust-like particles. They're not alive, they're not poison. They're pretty cool!
