Prophylactic Immunization Against Common Infections

Prophylactic Immunization against Streptococcus sanguis.

Streptococcus sanguis (the Streptococcus s.b.e. of Loewe), originally identified by White and his coworkers, has, with few exceptions, been isolated only from the blood stream of patients with subacute bacterial endocarditis (White, 1944; White and Niven, 1946; Niven and White, 1946; Loewe et al., 1946; Niven et al., 1946; Washburn et al., 1946). This causative organism has a type specificity a...

Monoclonal antibodies for prophylactic and therapeutic use against viral infections.

Neutralizing antibodies play an essential part in antiviral immunity and are instrumental in preventing or modulating viral diseases. Polyclonal antibody preparations are increasingly being replaced by highly potent monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Cocktails of mAbs and bispecific constructs can be used to simultaneously target multiple viral epitopes and to overcome issues of neutralization escap...
