A neutralizing human monoclonal antibody, KZ52, protects guinea pigs from lethal Ebola Zaire virus challenge. Administration before or up to 1 h after challenge resulted in dose-dependent protection by the antibody. Interestingly, some antibody-treated animals survived despite developing high-level viremia, suggesting that the mechanism of protection by KZ52 may extend beyond reduction of viremia by virus neutralization. KZ52 is a promising candidate for immunoprophylaxis of Ebola virus infection.
一种中和性人源单克隆抗体KZ52可保护豚鼠免受致死性埃博拉扎伊尔病毒攻击。在攻击前或攻击后1小时内给药可产生该抗体的剂量依赖性保护作用。有趣的是,一些接受抗体治疗的动物尽管出现了高水平病毒血症仍存活下来,这表明KZ52的保护机制可能超出了通过病毒中和作用降低病毒血症的范围。KZ52是埃博拉病毒感染免疫预防的一个有前景的候选药物。
