I would hope the individual that produced the antibody is well rewarded for what their body did.
Unless this antibody is somehow similar across all antibodies created as a reaction to an infection - that single patient should get a part of the profits from all vaccines/treatments derived from the antibody made in their body - it's only fair if their "work" is part of making vaccines that are then sold to others globally on a wide scale.
Then again, this is the medical industrial complex, so I'm sure they'll find a way to justify not reimbursing the patient. Unless I'm mistaken?
