Development and evaluation of an anti-rabies virus phosphoprotein-specific monoclonal antibody for detection of rabies neutralizing antibodies using RFFIT
BACKGROUND Rabies is a major public health problem with a fatality rate close to 100%; however, complete prevention can be achieved through pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis. The rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) is one of the recommended testing methods to determine the production of neutralizing antibodies after vaccination. Here, we report the development of a new monoclonal an...
متن کاملTransient Expression of Biologically Active Anti-rabies Virus Monoclonal Antibody in Tobacco Leaves
Background: Rabies virus is a neurotropic virus that causes fatal, but, a preventable disease in mammals. Administration of rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) is essential for the post-exposure of the prophylaxis to prevent the disease. However, replacement of polyclonal RIGs with alternative monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that are capable of neutralizing rabies virus has been recommend...
متن کاملAnti-idiotypic antibodies induce neutralizing antibodies to rabies virus glycoprotein.
Rabbit anti-idiotypic antibodies (alpha Id Ab) were prepared against five murine monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for the rabies virus glycoprotein. Four of the mAb were directed against three known, type-specific, neutralizing sites on the glycoprotein, and the other mAb was directed against a topographically uncharacterized, nonneutralizing epitope. An absence of significant cross-reactiv...
متن کاملDevelopment of a cocktail of recombinant-expressed human rabies virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies for postexposure prophylaxis of rabies.
To provide a cost-effective and safe replacement for human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG), we used DNA recombinant technology to express 3 human rabies virus-neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies (huMAbs) in a rhabdovirus vector (RhV). Infection of either baby hamster kidney cells or CHO cells, with the resulting RhV-huMAb recombinant viruses, yielded high-level production (< or =40 micro g/mL...
متن کاملComparison of an anti-rabies human monoclonal antibody combination with human polyclonal anti-rabies immune globulin.
The World Health Organization estimates human mortality from endemic canine rabies to be 55,000 deaths/year. Limited supply hampers the accessibility of appropriate lifesaving treatment, particularly in areas where rabies is endemic. Anti-rabies antibodies are key to protection against lethal rabies. Currently, only human and equine polyclonal anti-rabies immune globulin (HRIG and ERIG) is avai...
