Monoclonal antibody (palivizumab), intravenous immune globulin (IGIV), or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-polyclonal-hyperimmune-globulin (RSV-IG as Respigam®, RI-001, RI-002) are used with ribavirin in RSV-infected immunocompromised patients, with debated efficacy. Palivizumab-resistance (PR) can arise during treatment of persistent infections in this population. RSV-IG may confer benefit in PR-RSV infection.
RSV-IG [RI-001] was provided for an immunocompromised infant with RSV-pneumonitis refractory to ribavirin and palivizumab. RSV-neutralizing antibody, respiratory RSV load (qPCR), and F-gene-sequence-detection of PR was determined. Prophylactic RSV-IG [RI-002] or palivizumab was administered in a cotton-rat model infected with wild-type and PR-RSV. Lung RSV load and neutralizing antibody were measured.
As protective RI-001-neutralizing antibody titers waned in the infant, a subpopulation of PR-escape mutants were detected with a fatal RSV-burden in the lungs. In PR-RSV-infected cotton rats, prophylactic RI-002 reduced RSV-load in the lungs (2.45 vs 0.28 log PFU/g lung-tissue reduction, respectively, p < 0.05) and provided protective RSV-neutralizing antibody.
RSV-IG and ribavirin use in immunocompromised patients requires further study.
在 RSV 感染免疫功能低下的患者中,常联合利巴韦林使用单克隆抗体(帕利珠单抗)、静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)或呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)多克隆高免疫球蛋白(RSV-IG,如 Respigam®、RI-001、RI-002),但其疗效存在争议。在该人群中,持续性感染的治疗过程中可能会出现帕利珠单抗耐药(PR)。RSV-IG 可能对 PR-RSV 感染有益。
为一名免疫功能低下的 RSV 肺炎患儿提供 RSV-IG[RI-001],该患儿对利巴韦林和帕利珠单抗治疗的持续性 RSV 感染无效。检测了 RSV 中和抗体、呼吸道 RSV 载量(qPCR)和 PR 的 F 基因序列检测。在感染野生型和 PR-RSV 的棉鼠模型中预防性使用 RSV-IG[RI-002]或帕利珠单抗。测量了肺 RSV 载量和中和抗体。
随着婴儿体内保护性 RI-001 中和抗体效价下降,检测到具有致命性肺部 RSV 负荷的 PR 逃逸突变亚群。在 PR-RSV 感染的棉鼠中,预防性 RI-002 降低了肺部 RSV 载量(分别为 2.45 和 0.28 log PFU/g 肺组织减少,p < 0.05)并提供了保护性 RSV 中和抗体。
免疫功能低下患者使用 RSV-IG 和利巴韦林需要进一步研究。
